Lake Barkley State Resort Park and Land Between The Lakes NRA are pleased to again present a wildlife weekend dedicated to birding. April at the lakes is a perfect time to look and listen for migrating birds, especially warblers including Yellow –throated, Parulas and redstarts, so we have designed an entire weekend dedicated to these spring arrivals. Local guides will lead tours throughout Land Between The Lakes and offer identification and viewing tips for beginners. The cost for this event is $50/person and includes two birding hotspot van tours, breakfast with the birds, Bluebird talk and walk, Live Birds of Prey program, and early bird hikes. Space is limited to offer the best birding opportunities, so make pre-registration is required. Lake Barkley is also offering a discounted room rate of $55.95 for participants.
In conjunction with Warbler Weekend and the Little River Audubon Society , Kentucky Chautauqua presents Lucy Bakewell Audubon; Audubon’s Leading Lady on Saturday evening, April 21st at 7p.m. It was not easy being the wife of John James Audubon, yet Lucy Bakewell Audubon was, in her own words, “perfectly suited for him.” Lucy’s story is one of love, lies, disappointment, an internal struggle over her ever-changing role in her family, abandonment, sacrifice, and finally, redemption. This is perhaps one of the best, and somewhat unknown, Kentucky love stories. Kelly O’Connell Brengleman portrays Lucy Audubon for Kentucky Chautauqua. This Chautauqua performance is free and open to the public.
In 2011, we heard or saw almost 80 species. Here are some of the highlights
Last year's highlights include :
White-eyed Vireo
Yellow-throated Vireo
Warbling Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Blue-winged Warbler
Northern Parula
Yellow-throated Warbler
Pine Warbler
Praire Warbler
Prothonotary Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Scarlet Tanager
Baltimore Oriole
Orchard Oriole
