rare, casual, or accidental on the 2003 Annotated
Checklist of Missouri Birds (with revisions in 2004

“Species Mentioned” section are listed as “casual” or
“accidental” and thus require documentation. (Note
that some birds may be considered rare only during a

KANSAS CITY AREA
On Sunday, June 17, Linda Casebolt found a large,
mostly black and white bird, swimming on Lakewood Lake
(Jackson Co.) but was uncertain as to its
identification. However, follow up trips on Monday,
June 18, and Wednesday, June 20, by Bob Fisher
confirmed the bird in question was a WESTERN GREBE, an
accidental species in Missouri during the summer. For
those interested in observing this bird feel free to
e-mail Linda Casebolt at Lincase@COMCAST.NET to make
arrangements.
WEST CENTRAL
Andy Forbes and others observed a fly-over (probable
male) ANHINGA at the Horton Bottoms Natural Area at
Four-Rivers CA (Vernon Co.) on Tuesday, June 19.
However, the area the bird was observed in is very
difficult to access, but birders in the area should be
on the lookout just in case it could be sticking
around. Additionally at Four-Rivers CA, Andy and
others observed at least (3) MISSISSIPPI KITES.
ST. LOUIS AREA
On Thursday, June 14, Jackie Chain and the Thursday
WGNSS group observed at least (5) BLACK VULTURES

Jerry Decker in the shallows along Little Piney Creek
on Saturday, June 16.
