Financial support for color reproduction in this issue provided by the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives. 2007 THE KENTUCKY WARBLER 39 IN MEMORIAM: ALBERT L. “BERT” POWELL, JR. Albert L. “Bert” Powell, Jr., one of the Kentucky Ornithological Society’s most beloved members, passed away at the age of 92 on 22 February 2008 at his daughter’s home in Beattyville, Kentucky. Bert became interested in birds at a young age and was encouraged to pursue that interest by his teachers; he became active in the Society in the early 1950s. He was a co-founder and long-time leader of the Society’s unofficial chapter in the Owensboro area, the Daviess County Audubon Society. He and his wife, Mildred (Millie), were always present at semi-annual Society meetings until recent years, when their health limited their ability to travel. Millie passed away in April 2007. Bert was particularly noted for his knowledge of the birds of the Owensboro area, and during a period from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, he published about 10 papers on the birds of his local region. He was also instrumental in advancing several local environmental education projects. Bert and Millie are pictured below at the dedication of the Powell Bird Viewing Blind at the Pennyroyal Girl Scout Camp in 2001. Bert had a wonderful sense of humor and was full of jokes that livened up every occasion. Millie would enhance bird walks pointing out the wildflowers along the way. Bert Powell subscribed to the philosophy that bird watching should not be a solitary sport; it’s an activity to be shared joyfully with others. True to form, there is likely not a member of the Society who met him who was not touched by the endearing candor in his personality. Expressions of sympathy in the names of Bert and Millie Powell may take the form of donations to the Daviess County Audubon Society, Charles Morris, Treasurer, 1400 Wood- bridge Trail, Owensboro, KY, 42303. —Marilee Thompson and Mary Kissel 40 THE KENTUCKY WARBLER Vol. 84 WINTER SEASON 2007-2008 Brainard Palmer-Ball, Jr., and Lee McNeely The winter 2007-2008 was overall relatively normal regarding temperature and precipitation. Temperature was warmer than normal during December and slightly warmer than normal during January (when season lows of 4ºF, 7ºF and 9ºF were recorded at Lexington, Louisville, and Bowling Green, respectively). Temperature then returned to near normal to slightly colder than normal during February. Precipitation was higher than normal during December, slightly below normal during January, and near normal during February. There was little snowfall during the period with essentially no extended periods of snow cover statewide. The most abnormal feature of the winter season was the number of severe storms; severe winds were reported on three days in January and two days in February with an especially damaging outbreak across western and central Kentucky February 5-6, when 29 tornados were reported in 23 counties. Rarity highlights included Harlequin Duck, Northern Shrike, and several Black-capped Chickadees. Natural and ornamental food crops were well below average in supply in most areas, so it was not a good winter for berry, cone, and mast eaters, although Red-headed Woodpeckers were present in good numbers in scattered locales. Despite a pronounced fall flight of some boreal species, winter numbers were below average, suggesting that scarce food supplies resulted in most birds heading farther south. Publication of any unusual sightings in the seasonal report does not imply that these reports have been accepted as records for the official checklist of Kentucky birds. Observers are cautioned that records of out-of-season birds and all rarities must be accompanied with good details or documentation for acceptance. Documentation must be submitted to the Kentucky Bird Records Committee (KBRC). Decisions regarding the official Kentucky list are made by the KBRC and are reported periodically in The Kentucky Warbler. Abbreviations – County names appear in italics; when used to separate dates, the “/” symbol is used in place of “and”; “ph.” next to an observer’s initials indicates that the observation was documented with photograph(s); “vt.” next to an observer’s initials indicates that the observation was documented on videotape; “*” next to an observer’s initials indicates that written details were submitted with the report; CBC = Christmas Bird Count.

EVALUATING THE INFLUENCES OF KARST HYDROGEOLOGY ON FRESHWATER HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS IN KENTUCKY LAKES A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Geography and Geology Western Kentucky University Bowling Green, Kentucky In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science By Robert T. Schaefer III August 2016 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Completing this thesis, and, to a large extent, graduate school in general, to say the least, has been a journey. Journeys are often fraught with heartache and hardship, but they are also full of fun and excitement, and this adventure was no different. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded with a group of amazing friends and a mentor without whom this thesis would not have been possible. It was through this journey that I learned that the completion of a thesis, and graduate school survival, is not a feat completed by an individual alone, but by a group effort propelling an individual to a singular goal.

Data from a previous study (I) indicate that the number of people visiting 42 typical Kentucky outdoor recreation areas on an average summer Sunday in 1970 was approximately 260,000. Most of these 42 areas, by virtue of their outdoor nature, are located in rural settings. Most have access to major arterial highways only by means of narrow, low standard rural roads. Traffic generated by the recreation areas and their associated developments severely strains these secondary access highways and places a significant additional load on the rural arterial network. Construction of man-made lakes often inundates a portion of the highway network.
