Great Backyard Bird Count
GBBC: Day 4 and Columbia remains #1 in KentuckyThe latest scan of the listings for the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) early Sunday morning, showed Columbia #1 in check lists of all communities in Kentucky. Note: At 5:06amCT CM was unable to access GBBC website

GBBC bird counts are easy, and fun, whether you are an trained ornithologist or a tyro. Just 1) Go outside and spend at least 15 minutes observing the birds and writing down your lists, 2) Go to the submit link below, and 3) Enter your checklist for each time you observe during the day.

If you need help, call Barbara Armitage at (270) 250-2979, go to the Adair County Public Library, or contact the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce at (270) 384-6020. If you don't want to use the internet to report, the Adair County Garden Club will take your written lists and enter them for you.

Lucy Devenney and Audrey Lane



2009-02-16 - Carmel, IN - Photo by Grandfather Bob Chelf.
ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY CATS--OR HATS! And Lucy Devenney believes in wearing lots at one time. Admiring the millinery feat is her first cousin, Audrey Lane. In the picture, but you can't see him--nobody else can see him but Lucy, is Lucy Devenney's constant companion, Mr. Envelope Cooper. Off-frame, and you could see him if he were in the picture, is her other constant companion, Ice Cream Lee. All four are residents of Carmel, IN. Lucy and Audrey are the grandchildren of Columbia/Kniflian Bob Chelf and Andi Chelf, Carmel, IN, frequent visitors to these parts.
