This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of May 4, 2006 at 11:00 AM EDT. The
highlights of this update are:



Spring migration has been slow for the most part. The trees leaved out prior
to the birds arriving and they may have past us by to some degree. Most of
the summer residents have been spotted. The only one I can think of that I
have not seen reported is the COMMON NIGHTHAWK. The latest to be observed
were the YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO, LEAST TERN, and what has become a regular
summer resident in the past few years the SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER.



A few new passerines made a show this week. Making the list were:
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO, CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER, MAGNOLIA WARBLER, CAPE MAY
WARBLER, BAY-BREASTED WARBLER, and AMERICAN REDSTART.



Also reported on Saturday the 28th were both a RED-NECKED GREBE and a HORNED
GREBE. Both were viewed in the Kentucky Lake dam area and have not been
relocated. The RED-NECKED GREBE was photographed.
