Birds of Kentucky: Downy Woodpecker 2020-02-18 - Jefferson Co., KY - Photo by Pen. All About Birds has this to say about the downy woodpecker: "Downy Woodpeckers hitch around tree limbs and trunks or drop into tall weeds to feed on galls, moving more acrobatically than larger woodpeckers. Their rising-and-falling flight style is distinctive of many woodpeckers. In spring and summer, Downy Woodpeckers make lots of noise, both with their shrill whinnying call and by drumming on trees."

Day Trip: Yellow Hammer - or Yellowhammer - Road 2020-02-17 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Whether you write it in one word as historian Mike Watson does - and I feel sure he knows which is correct - or two words as the state sign does, and I have a feeling they don't know, being from off - it's a beautiful road in Adair County that connects Highway 704 to Old Glens Fork Road. Yellow Hammer / Yellowhammer Road winds and wanders, much like the previous sentence did. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Coffeys and grandson attend Farm Machinery Show 2020-02-17 - Louisville, KY - Photo by Jackie Coffey.
