Birds of Kentucky: American Goldfinch



2007-06-17 - Kentucky - Photo by Pen. These little yellow birds can be seen by the dozens among purple thistle this time of year. Females are less vivid, but can still be recognized by their distinctive call and halting flight, which characteristically involves three or four wingbeats with vocalization, and then a coasting drop in altitude with wings tucked tightly to their sides before the next wingbeats lift them again.

Over a dozen photos, by Sean Hitchcock, Joe Hare, and Ed Waggener, accompany story
By Sean Hitchcock

MILLTOWN, KY. Hundreds of people from all around Kentucky brought their tractors and families to Adair County Saturday, June 16, to enjoy the 2007 Russell Creek Antique Tractor and Gasoline Engine Show held at Garrison Construction Company.

A record of 141 entries dating back to 1927 were on display at this years eleventh annual event that included a tractor parade, freshly made food, and a little friendly competition.

The weather was perfect for the event, with a gentle breeze and mostly 70's temperatures. The crowd was estimated at 400-500; over 200 visitor cars were parked in lots around the Garrison Construction grounds, residences, and farm land. The complex has more the appearance of Kentucky State Park than a building contractor's headquarters.

Rev. Joey N. Welsh: Anne Frank, a Legacy in Words


ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor
A LEGACY IN WORDS
From The Hart County News-Herald, June 5, 2005
By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh

Sometimes we encounter words of wisdom from sources that seem unlikely to us. Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, and she died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in early 1945, six weeks before the camp was liberated by the Allies.

Fathers Day: In memory of my Daddy, Ruel C. Moss

By Sharon Moss Burton

On Father's day we take the time to turn our thoughts to dad.
Thank him for the home he gave for all the things we had.
We think about the fleeting years too quickly, gone for good.
It seems like only yesterday I'd go back if I could.
