This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of January 15, 2003 at 9:00 PM EST.  The
highlights of this update are:  American White Pelican, Northern Saw-whet
Owl, and Merlin.

Approximately 12 American White Pelicans were observed on Lake Barkley from
the old Silo area on Land between the Lakes on January 11th.  Other birds in
the area that day included Brown Creeper, Winter Wren, and 3 Bald Eagles.
On December 13th, 55 American White Pelicans were observed on Lake Barkley
in the Hurricane Creek area.  Other birds in that general area included
Double-crested Cormorant, Bonaparte's Gull and Herring Gull.

On January 12th, 1 Northern Saw-whet Owl responded to a tape at Little Lick,
in the Daniel Boone National Forest in Pulaski County.  Ironically, more
common species were not observed.  The Ano Strip mines in Pulaski County
produced a single Merlin, an Eastern Screech-Owl and numerous Northern
Harriers on January 13th.

Other birds of possible interest reported recently in Kentucky include 6
Common Mergansers on Honker Lake in LBL and 2 Common Goldeneye on the Ohio
River at Louisville.
