Birds of Kentucky: Robin vs Buick culture clash



2009-04-13 - East 80 Estates, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne.
EASTER SUNDAY, April 12, 2009, with all the arrogance of Hernando de Soto proclaiming his immortality, this very cocky robin claimed, left the bumper of this Buick for its new home. Upper right top photos: Two attempts at landing construction materials on the site resulted in almost beak bending disasters. Lower right: Beaten but unbowed, the addled but recovering robins, regains governing stature on His Imperial Lawn, in East 80 Estates, Columbia, KY. But, says the photographer, "That's a laugh. Maybe he won in his own mind, but he did not win," the bumper was the winner!"

Scenic Adair Co. KY: Corbin's Bend RD, prettier Laurel Trail now



2009-04-13 - Cliffs above Green River Lake, District 6, Columiba, kY - Photo photos by Linda & Ed Waggener.
RECENT BRUSH CLEARING WORK ordered by Adair County CJE Ann Melton along Corbin's Bend Road gave clearer views, ,center from the Jericho Cliff's over Green River Lake, and, very importantly, made the trail of Mountain Laurel much more visible and gave clear evidence that the plant is in much greater abundance along the roadside than previously believed. Mountain Laurel is the dark green plant in the very center of the photo. It usually blooms in the first five or six days of May and stays in flower for most of the month. It's seen above from earlier years center top photo and in the second from the top left and third from top right photos. The tree tunnel, upper left, is along the first half mile of the 2.2 mile Corbin's Bend Road. On the right, beautiful cedars in a summer sky along the road, and bottom left, the red barn is on the Holmes Bend Road, on the McFarland Farm, which is located on the NE corner of Holmes Bend and Corbin's Bend Road. The wetland photo third from left, bottom, is nearer Green River Lake. The redbud is representative of redbud along the road, but is actually from another area of Green River. Oh yes, the mailbox at 761 in the center photo has one of the reflective street number signs which allow emergency responders to quickly locate an address. They are not only useful, but attractive as well.

Birds of KY: Ebenezer Robin



2009-04-13 - Ebenezer, Green Co., KY - Photo by Judy Corbin.
JUDY CORBIN captured this gorgeous scene in the Ebenezer community of southern Green County, KY. It was during an Easter Egg hunt, and two nests were found - and left as they were found - with enough eggs for the photgrapher to write, "Looks like the robin crop will be plentiful soon in Ebenezer."
