Birds of Kentucky: Killdeer
2019-08-15 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Pen
All About Birds has this to say about the Killdeer: "Killdeer inhabit open areas such as sandbars, mudflats, and grazed fields. They are probably most familiar around towns, where they live on lawns, driveways, athletic fields, parking lots, airports, and golf courses. Generally the vegetation in fields inhabited by Killdeer is no taller than one inch. You can find Killdeer near water, but unlike many other shorebirds, they are also common in dry areas."

The little girl in the arms of her Nana is a miracle child, Abbigail Lousetta Smith. She was sharing her bright smile with USPS staff members Ashley Neat and Candice Bradley. Abby Lou was born at 23 weeks weighing one and a half pounds. For months and months her life hung in the balance and her prayer network grew from family to friends to a whole community of strangers, all bonded in calling for her healing. Prayers were answered. She will celebrate birthday number four on November 6, 2019. She and her parents, Brittany and Kyle Smith, visited the Creation Museum this summer and took along grandparents Sandy and Danny Wilkinson. Sandy - Nana - says they live in gratitude every moment.
