Birds of Kentucky: American Robin



2008-03-03 - Adair County, KY - Photo By Pen.
COCKY ROBIN: American Robins as a species are very common, especially now that the Back Yard Bird Count is over. This one, struck us as a bit uncommon individual, with an aura of command like a robin Zubin Mehta before a ghost orchestra or maybe bird General Patton taking command of an imaginary army.

ABOUT: STORY, Beware of Dastardly DonkeysTo Melissa Taylor:

Thanks so much for the interesting article about Brutus.

I'm sure we have all encountered a situation that takes brain as well as brawn, but it certainly wasn't told in as humorous a way as this.

Thanks for sharing.

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

PHOTO: Ring-billed gull

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I would note this addition about the Ring billed gull:
Mischaracterized as a seagull, this bird readily follows farm plows or scatters over meadows after heavy rains to feast on drowning earthworms.They have been known to steal food items from a persons hand, they have a sweet tooth as well.

Thanks. We've added your note to the photo -CM

True Tales of Triple S Horse Farm: Beware of Dastardly Donkeys!

When last we left you, Triple S had settled down to enjoy peaceful, productive days, interrupted only by the innocent pranks of Nanabell Goat and her new kids. But yesterday, our heroine found herself in peril, when Brutus, Triple S Horse Farm's generally docile donkey, got het up on hormones and turned a relaxing Sunday afternoon ride into a life threatening thriller. Once again, we present another exciting story from True Tales of Life at Triple S Horse Farm. Episode 2: Beware of Dastardly Donkeys!
Even Ronald Reagan might have changed his philosophy if he'd encountered Brutus on Sunday, March 2, 2008

By Melissa Taylor

Cory Stone is my oldest nephew. He is an incredibly intelligent young man and, like his father, he is an outstanding horseman. Weve spent many leisurely afternoons together and really enjoy one anothers company.

So when Cory wanted to go horseback riding on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I thought it would be a nice relaxing way to end the weekend - My First Big Mistake!
