Birds of Kentucky: American Goldfinches for Valentine's Day 2011-02-12 - 1525 Bull Run Road - Photo by Barbara Armitage. Valentine's Day is still a few days off but these American Goldfinches seem to already be in the mood. Goldfinch Charmer Barbara Armitage says her Wild Pets love to pose for her, (as says Peggy Spoon). If so, this is quite an animal act. But it may not be Valentine's Day. It may be the lovey-dovey is the birds' way of saying, "We Count," knowing that Barbara Armitage and the growing Adair County "Count on Us to Count" host of bird census counters will be at work February 18, 19, 20, and 21 enumerating the Adair County Flock in the Great Backyard Bird Count. If you aren't yet listed in "Count on Us to Count," do so by letting the Adair County Garden Club know or send directly to ColumbiaMagazine.com using any Contact/Submit Button and with your name or the lead name of your group, and "Count on Us to Count" in the subject line. At the end of the day, and no later than Sunday morning, February 13, 2011, we're hope to surpass 100 committed counters. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
