Steve Stedman and I participated in the Wayne County CBC held 12/17; we tallied 74 species. Uncommon species found on the count included Snow Goose, Eurasian Collared-Dove, American Pipit, Palm Warbler, Chipping Sparrows and Purple Finch. It was a cold 28-35 degrees with wind speeds ranging from 10-20 MPH. A count of 519 Bonaparte's Gulls was high for the area. ~Roseanna Denton roseanna@xxxxxxxxxxx Science Hill, KY Pulaski County Common Loon 1 Pied-billed Grebe 9 Horned Grebe 1 Great Blue Heron 1 Snow Goose 1 Canada Goose 74 American Wigeon 16 Gadwall 40 Green-winged Teal 58 Mallard 97 Ring-necked Duck 67 Bufflehead 2 Black Vulture 27 Turkey Vulture 24 Bald Eagle 4 Northern Harrier 4 Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 Accipiter species 1 Red-shouldered Hawk 1 Red-tailed Hawk 17 American Kestrel 34 American Coot 4 Killdeer 41 Ring-billed Gull 67 Bonaparte's Gull 519 Rock Pigeon 3 Eurasian Collared-Dove 1 Mourning Dove 114 Eastern Screech-Owl 2 Belted Kingfisher 1 Red-headed Woodpecker 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker 15 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1 Downy Woodpecker 3 Hairy Woodpecker 1 Northern Flicker 6 Pileated Woodpecker 5 Eastern Phoebe 2 American Pipit 1 Golden-crowned Kinglet 5 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Cedar Waxwing 35 Carolina Wren 16 Winter Wren 2 Northern Mockingbird 14 Eastern Bluebird 7 Hermit Thrush 6 American Robin 33 Carolina Chickadee 15 Tufted Titmouse 17 White-breasted Nuthatch 12 Blue Jay 67 American Crow 92 European Starling 1240 Yellow-rumped Warbler 24 Palm Warbler 3 Eastern Towhee 12 Chipping Sparrow 24 Field Sparrow 55 Savannah Sparrow 8 Fox Sparrow 1 Song Sparrow 51 Swamp Sparrow 1 White-crowned Sparrow 29 White-throated Sparrow 39 Dark-eyed Junco 40 Northern Cardinal 38 Red-winged Blackbird 401 Eastern Meadowlark 38 Common Grackle 8953 Brown-headed Cowbird 2 Blackbird species 10,000 Purple Finch 3 House Finch 17 American Goldfinch 37 House Sparrow 56 ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx
