Buchanan Birders,
Chazzy and I spent the morning birding and hiking some of our
favorite areas in Madison County, Kentucky. We didn't expect to find any new
migrants but resident birds were singing everywhere and we got to listen to
Phoebes, Meadowlarks, and Bluebirds along with the other birds we
have been hearing the past week or so. A lone Red-shouldered Hawk, some
Kestrels along the power lines, and a kettle of Turkey Vultures were our
raptors for the day. At Owsley Fork Reservoir we found a raft of 131
Redhead and 28 Ring-necked Ducks. At Reba Lake a pair of Bufflehead were
keeping 24 Coots company. A beautiful Mourning Cloak was unexpected -
I'm starting to believe there just may be an end to this interminable
winter.
For those interested, here is a link to our hike pictures:

Enjoy the Day,
