This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of September 1, 2005 at 9:00 AM EDT.
The highlights of this update are:
Hurricane Katrina didn’t drop as many rarities into our state as was hoped,
but a few have made a shown. 2 STORM PETRELS of undetermined species were
at the Frankfort Fish Hatchery on Wednesday the 31st. One was apparently
quite weak. A BAND-RUMPED STORM PETREL has been seen at the Falls of the
Ohio as late as Wednesday also. LAUGHING GULLS have been reported from
several locations. And a possible BRIDLED TERN was observed at the mouth of
the Licking River.
In addition, a RED PHALAROPE was seen Wednesday on the shore of the Ohio
River between the mouth of the Licking and Mike Fink’s floating restaurant.
This bird was seen both early and late in the day. 3 plus PHALAROPE were
also mentioned a Taylorsville Lake, the species was undetermined. Terns
seemed to be in good numbers with BLACK TERNS being mentioned from Pulaski,
Barren, Daviess, and Jefferson Counties, as well as LBL. COMMON TERN were
also mentioned from several locales.
Lastly, the first mention of COMMON NIGHTHAWKS in migration came from
Pulaski County where a thousand or more were seen on Wednesday the 31st.
