Birds of Kentucky: Neo-tropical migrants are back It's time to put out hummingbird feeders. Brian Gray delivered GREAT lecture at last Birdwatchers meeting; has promised to lead a future birdwalk Click on headline for full story, photos, link to story on the i-Bird and other applications to shorten the learning curve for bird watchers. By Wendy Butler Burt News from Adair County Birdwatchers The neo-tropical migrants are here in full force - some to stay for the season, some on a stop-over on their migration farther north.  Yellow-throated Warbler. Photo by Angel Firkins. This morning, April 24, 2010, I saw my first-of-season (FOS) orchard oriole, indigo bunting, blue grosbeak, yellow-throated warbler, and ruby-throated hummingbird (time to put out those hummingbird feeders!). And, earlier this week, the Eastern kingbirds returned. Bluebirds are active Lots of activity in my bluebird houses (bluebirds and tree swallows) and chickadee houses. Alas, no purple martins in my brand-new martin house - but there are no starlings in the martin house, either, so I am holding out hope that some wandering martins will spy it this summer, intending to return next Spring. (Purple Martin Condos photo by Barbara Armitage> We had a GREAT bird watchers meeting the other night with Brian Gray from the KY Department of Fish and Wildlife. I left the meeting inspired to really learn my bird calls and have been studying ever since. Brian has promised to lead a bird walk for us after mid-May. We'll let you know the details. Anyway, hope you are enjoying your Spring. -Wendy Butler Burt, President, Adair County Birdwatchers. (270) 378-3197. Wendy Butler Burt sent this link to a New York Times story on the i-bird application for I-Phones: It's A Touch-Screen Field Guide to the Birds, for Instant IDs, by Bob Tedeschi. The link works on April 24, 2010, as this is posted, but may not in the future. Let us know when it doesn't. This story was posted on 2010-04-24 09:38:50
