Birds of Kentucky: Cliff Swallow Colony, Bliss Road 2018-08-08 - Bliss Road, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.

The entire tunnel under the LBN Parkway is lined with dozens of clusters like the one above. Didn't get a chance to count the individual nests, but would estimate at least 200. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
