This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of November 4, 2002 at 9:00 AM EST. The
highlights of this update are: a Red-necked Grebe at the Brown Power Plant,
a probable Rufous Humming Bird in Danville, and Surf Scoters at a variety of
locations.
A Red-necked Grebe was present at the EW Brown Power Plant on November 3rd.
This location requires a local permit for entrance and birding. The bird
was photographed. Other species observed there on that date included 5
Greater Yellowlegs and 4 Bonaparte's Gulls.
A probable Rufous Hummingbird has been attending a feeder in Danville for
several days. The bird has been photographed and field marks on the photo
indicate a Rufous Hummingbird. The bird is located at the home of Neil and
Ginny Eklund in Danville and was last reported on November 2nd.
Surf Scoters are moving through Kentucky and have been reported from a
variety of locations. On November 3rd, 1 female/immature Surf Scoter was
observed on the Ohio River in Louisville. On November 2nd, a Surf Scoter
was observed at the Minor Clark Fish Hatchery in Rowan County while another
bird was observed at the Benton sewage lagoon in Marshall County. Other
birds of interest on the Ohio River in Louisville included 1 Common Loon, 10
Horned Grebes, 3 Red-breasted Mergansers, and 6 Hooded Mergansers.
49 Common Loons and 18 Horned Grebes were observed on November 3rd at Barren
River Reservoir in Allen/Barren Counties. Also in the area were a Winter
Wren, a late Orange-crowned Warbler, and a late Indigo Bunting. Scattered
late Ruby-throated Hummingbirds continue to be reported as well, most
recently in Owensboro.
Sandhill Cranes are beginning their southward migration through the state.
On November 2nd, 3 groups of birds totaling 55 individuals were observed
near Green River Reservoir in Adair County. An additional 3 birds were
observed the same date at Cooley's Pond in Wayne County.
McElroy Lake in Warren County is essentially gone. However, on November 3rd
75 Dunlin, 18 Wilson's Snipe (formerly Common Snipe), an American Golden
Plover, a Least Sandpiper, and a Lesser Yellowlegs were observed.
