Birds of Kentucky: A Puddling of Ducks 2011-02-20 - Photo by Barbara Armitage. Count on Your Way to and from Church "Participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count," writes Barbara Armitage, "doesn't mean that you have to dress up in a Jane Hathaway 'Biddle Bird Watchers' costume and spend days in the woods eating granola and searching for some rare "Blue Spotted Web Footed Scream Like a Girl Spitting Duck" you can Count anywhere, anytime even from your car. I passed this puddling of Mallards while driving home from Green River Lake on Saturday. I did have to stop and back up because at first I thought I had counted two swimming ducks and two diving ducks. I recommend that if you are going to Count birds from a car you have a driver and a passenger (to Count) to be safe. Be sure to find a safe place to pull off the road if you want to stop and use you emergency flashers so other drivers can see you. What better way to drive to church today than to slow down and really look at the beauty of our world."
