Birds of KY - Wily Turkeys at Dale Hollow State Park 2018-05-20 - Dale Hollow State Park, 5970 State Park Road, Burkesville, Cumberland Co., KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Life must be good for Wild Turkeys living in Dale Hollow State Park. They are big. Don't have and data-driven stats to verify they are bigger, other than Billy Joe Fudge telemetrics - usually reserved for getting the exact poundage of a road crossing wildcat/cougar, from a moving car, at that - just say these turkeys are big, fat and sassy. There are six safely grazing here - maybe only five if the one lookout on the right is omitted. Which raises a question for one not well versed in turkey societal matters: Is there generally one turkey resource officer which acts as a lookout? -- EW. Photo Saturday, May 19, 2018.

The schools have provided, with money collected at each, ACMS, ACPC, ACES, ACHS, bus drivers, mechanics, and the Central office, a grand total of $2,618.00.

Old truck a stone's throw away from Columbia Post Office 2018-05-19 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis. Robert writes, "Customers who frequent the Post Office in Columbia should be familiar with this scene since it's to their immediate left as they pull into to the Parking Lot. Mr. Houston Murray was kind of enough to allow me and a fellow photographer on his property to take some pics of this old truck. I have had my eye on it for over a year and always wanted to see what kind of image the scene would produce... I'm very pleased the results."
