Doing the Boone County sector of the Ohio River CBC today, I found a huge number of White-crowned Sparrows, 310 estimated, along Kentucky 8 west of Kentucky 237. At one point I counted 48 in my binoculars at one time. There was a good mix of other sparrows as well, but White-crowneds made up about three quarters of all the sparrows. This is the area marked "North Bend Bottom" on DeLorme page 22, grid D3. By the way, if anyone visits this area, the DeLorme atlas has an error - Route 8 does not connect from I-275 to North Bend Bottom - you have to go by way of 237. -- Ned Keller Cincinnati, OH keller@xxxxxxx ================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
