Birds of Kentucky: Egret coming in for landing



2009-04-14 - South Carolina - Photo by Pen.
An egret landing in a powerful crosswind in South Carolina evoked this quote from Arthur C. Clarke: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic. Though this bird was seen in South Carolina, egrets are found in the Jackson Purchase of Kentucky and, maybe less commonly at Green River Lake. Pen writes, ," I've seen egrets at Green River Lake in the past, too. I think the last time I saw one was at Plum Point a few years ago," and notes, "The birds are probably there more often than I am." ColumbiaMagazine.com Group at Flickr

JASON HARMON: On early Adair County tries to improve bees

Jason Harmon writes, "I thought this entry from an old Adair County Newspaper was really funny," and sent us this entry:
January 15, 1902. Adair County News:Mr C.W. Bryant of Purdy was in town Monday and inrormed the News - man that he had thirty seven stands of bees and all seemed to be wintering well. Mr Bryant is a successful bee man and sells much honey. He could make the business much more profitable if his bees could work both day and night, while the bloom is on the vine and the honey dew on the leaf.

He offers $5.00 for a stock of bees able to gather sweetness at night. Some experiments have been made in this county, so we have heard, to produce a bee capable of working at night as well as in the day, Mr Bryant is thinking of crossing with the lightning bug to obtain the desired result. We understand that a citizen of Joppa has experimented on the above line and succeeded to a remarkable degree.
He added, "I googled honey bee/lightning bug crossbreeding and was surprised that it was a commom experiment for beekeepers at the turn of the century. I see many claims of success, but I didn't think it was possible I hope all are all doing well."
Thanks. We don't hear from Jason Harmon nearly enough, but when we do, it's well worth the wait. -EW

Writer says speeding on Russell Road dangerous

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

I live at the apartments across from Dollar General Store, and I was wondering if the city plans to do anything about it: I witnessed a red mustang pass in a No Passing zone yesterday afternoon, and if there would have been anyone coming from these apartments wanting to cross the street they could have been killed.

The police needs to sit in Dollar General's parking lot running radar. They may catch a few speeders. People go through here all the time traveling at high rates of speed all the time. Something needs to be done as soon as possible before another bad accident or worse happens again.
