This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of August 15, 2005 at 1:00 PM EDT. The
highlights of this update are:
Most of the reports this week have come from the common western spots for
shore birds and waders. An exception was the nice find of 3 AMERICAN AVOCETS
at the Petersburg gravel pit in Boone County on Saturday morning the 13th.
A single WHITE IBIS was still being seen at Mitchell Lake in Ballard WMA as
late as Saturday the 13th. Mitchell Lake also contained good numbers of the
common shorebirds including 350 plus PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, and a few less
common birds such as 4 STILT SANDPIPERS, and 1 WILSON’S PHALAROPE. 18 LEAST
TERNS and 2 BLACK TERNS were also counted there.
On the Mississippi River just above the “old” Laketon boat ramp on the 12th
were 3 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER, 1 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER, and 6-8 WESTERN
SANDPIPER. 50 LEAST TERN and 21 BLACK TERN were also counted in this
vicinity. Numerous MISSISSIPPI KITE were also reported from the the river
area also.
Thanks for calling the Kentucky Bird Line. You may leave a report after the
tone. Please include your name, the date, the location, and the time of
your observation when filing a report. If your report contains rare or out
of season species, please send appropriate documentation to the
