This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of November 30, 2002 at 9:00 PM EST.
The highlights of this update are:  the continued presence of a Common
Ground-Dove in Fulton County, the continued presence of a Western Grebe on
Lake Cumberland, and Rufous Hummingbirds in Bowling Green and Danville.

The Common Ground Dove continues to be observed at the south end of Lake #9.
This location is in extreme SW Fulton County, just about ½ mile north of the
Tennessee Line and adjacent to the Mississippi River levee.  The bird has
been observed several times this week on the dirt farm lane that runs
between the levee and the Lake.  Often the bird has been observed on the
dirt lane adjacent too the small clump of saplings along its north edge.
The bird was last observed on the afternoon of November 30th.  The following
address has the approximate location of the dirt lane marked with a red x:

The Western Grebe continues its visit to Lake Cumberland and was observed
again on November 27th.  The Grebe continues to be located at the end of
Waitsboro Road in southern Pulaski County.  This bird has now been present
for several weeks.

At least 2 of the 4 Rufous Hummingbirds recently reported in Kentucky
continue to be present.  The Bowling Green bird at the home of Jackie and
Diane Elmore was still present as of midweek and is confirmed to be a
female.  The Danville Rufous Hummingbird is at the home of Neil and Ginny
Eklund and was present as recently as November 27th and is confirmed to be
an immature male.

Other birds of interest reported recently include:  Sandhill Cranes and
Lapland Longspurs from various locations in the state, a Pacific Loon and a
Long-tailed Duck above Kentucky Dam on November 24th, Short-eared Owls in
Boyd County, an Eastern Phoebe in Daviess County, an American Golden Plover
and 2 Brewer's Blackbirds in Warren County, and a Eurasian Collared-Dove in
Henderson County.
