Sycamore Springs: Where are all the Blue Jays this year?

By Cynthia Meyer
News from Sycamore Springs

I sit here admiring all the photos of the cardinals on Columbia Magazine, and can not help but notice the absences of Blue Jays.

I have seen Cardinals, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Wrens even a Red Crossbill at my birdfeeder, but no Blue Jays.

Are they all staying in Metcalfe County?

One other thing I was wondering was if anyone else has noticed the occasional Killdeer, or "Killdee," as most southerners call them.

I spotted one Sunday afternoon in the Flatwoods area during this cold snap.

What was odd to me is they usually do not show up until warmer weather, and do not stay here throughout the winter.-Cynthia Meyer
