Birds of Kentucky: Bird Band uses Killdeer Field for early morning practice 2016-07-31 - ACHS 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c).

For some reason, more of the highly entertaining species seem to have an affinity for the parking lot than any other location I've seen. Even without BOE approval, the band of birds has found adaptive co-use very much to their liking. - EW. Photo 31 July 2016. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
