Scenic Adair Co. - concern about Big Clifty Creek
2026-02-19 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Donna Rieder
Clifty Creek Farm owner, Donna Rieder, sends this picture and asks, "What on Earth (or rather, what in Russell Creek) is THIS?? The water from Big Clifty Creek feeds into Russell Creek at what's called the "Sam Coffey Hole." The water normally runs clear, with a "rootbeer" kinda vibe. Russell Creek had this weird, opaque green water flowing this afternoon [Thursday, February 19, 2026]." Comments | Permalink

Birds of Kentucky: Eastern Towhee

All About Birds offers this advice for spotting Eastern Toehees: "Walk slowly along the edges of forests, thickets, and old fields. Listen carefully for the Eastern Towhee's scratchy chewink call, its bright song, or simply any rustling the bird makes in dry leaves. Then lower your eyes to ground level and scan the leaf litter, looking for a scratching towhee or the bright white corners of the bird flashing its tail at you." Comments | Permalink
