Birds of KY: Bird on a bale - a big round bale - showing off legs 2018-06-22 - KY 768 Adair County, KY lens pointed toward Columbia - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The view in the opposite direction is spectacular, but this bird seemed more intent on using the large round hay bale as a front porch, watching the more interesting passing parade on Sparksville Road, not far from Wheeler Hill Road. Hope there is enough detail for a really knowledgeable birder to ID the species. - EW. Photo 22 Jun 2018.

New and old friends gather around the buffet 2018-06-22 - Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. In an impromptu meeting at the end of the buffet, three gentlemen, J. Brandon Thompson, Ed Waggener and Lynwood Montell, and I met up at Jones' Restaurant in Burkesville, KY. Thompson said to the Waggeners, "I didn't expect to see you here," at the same time we said to him, "You have a broken leg!?" Then it was Montell who said, "are you Waggeners from Burkesville?" Then right there at the buffet corner, there followed a world of answering and explaining and edging this way and that to accommodate buffet traffic as needed. It's a wonder the buffet police weren't called, but all was well. - LW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
