Discovers new Adair Co. sights - Counting them birds! New to them: The beautiful countryside around Cane Valley Maury Lewis writes: My husband and I went around Adair County today counting the birds. I couldn't take pictures. I was driving and he was writing and counting. He has really good sharp eyes.Thanks. It's always so much fun to find new roads in Adair County. I've driven the county exploring for new sights and I'm amazed at how frequently I have grand places, especially great vistas, I never knew existed.

Remembering Hughes Walker: Saddened also Death of a childhood friend evokes a tribute and brings back memories of their families' childhoods on Burkesville ST, of Edith Walker's kindergarten school and staying with Billy and Sylvia Wilson afterwards, of the families' changes of residences, of the writer's first kindergarten teacher also being one of her first teachers at Lindsey Wilson College. She remembers Hughes - older than she - as an intelligent, kind, caring, well-mannered youngster who would reach adulthood and be so well prepared for his ultimate role helping veterans with their VA credentials About:Russell Hughes Walker, Adair Co., KY (1946-2011) By Prudence Hutchison Westholm I also was saddened to hear of Hughes Walker's passing.

Dogs on KY 55/Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY To ColumbiaMagazine.com: We were driving down KY 55 N a little while ago and saw two dogs that I am sure their owners are missing. One was a boxer and one I am not sure what he is. but he had a camo bandana on. Both seemed friendly and were walking down 55 in front of Genesis Family Medical. We followed them behind the office so that we could get a picture of them. s/Debbie Meadows 2011-02-19 15:07:24 | Comments | Printable version
B.J. Fudge notices increase in Black Vultures Comments re article 42545 The Great Backyard Bird Count is the talk of the town To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I don't know about the rest of CM's readers but I seem to be seeing more Black Vultures and less Turkey Buzzards these days. As to the observations the Wright Bros. might have made, I have always considered it ironic that the first flight, historically, occurred at Kitty Hawk. That first flight actually took place at Kill Devil Hills nearby Kitty Hawk, however. There is no actual "Kitty Hawk" bird but most scholars believe the name came about from the local brogue pronunciation, "chickahawk". s/Billy Joe Fudge 2011-02-19 15:03:32 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

The Great Backyard Bird Count is the talk of the town In three stops, at the library, at the chiropractor's, and at the feed store, everyone was enthusiastic about Adair County's great February family fun pastime, counting the birds, learning about them, and being part of the biggest scientific study in the world, the GBBC To ColumbiaMagazine.com While running my errands on Friday afternoon I couldn't help but notice that everywhere I went the talk was about the Great Backyard Bird Count.

More signs of the changing season: Songs of mockingbirds fill the air. Sand Hill cranes are heard from flyways, high overhead. Click on headline for essay plus photo(s) By Sharon Whitehurst Gradyville, KY. February 18, 2011 at 6pmCT - It was too lovely outside this evening to be indoors. There was no spectacularly colorful sunset, but the air was soft and almost misty.I tried several camera settings in an attempt to capture this hour of dusk which smells of awakened earth and a gentle shower.
