Great Backyard Bird Count: The Count is Over. We won! Columbia #1 in KY!

Birds (not) of Kentucky: Flamingo at Louisville Zoo

Columbia Finished #1 in Kentucky with 204 checklists to Lexington's 130, Louisville 83; Glasgow 34, and Frankfort 33. Columbia tied with Lexington for reporting the most species, 74. Therefore ColumbiaMagazine.com pronounces Adair County the Birdwatching Capital of Kentucky, and very close to being named the Bluebird Capital of the United States, thanks to the work of Day & Day Feed, the anonymous Michael of Absher, there's no such place as Egypt Bluebird, and the wonderful photography of Kay Haupt. One can never have too many Bluebirds!
