Dave Rosenbaum argues Bub Polston bird's uh chicken hawk

About: Birds of Kentucky: Redtailed Hawk on KY 206 Adair County

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

Earlier this month, Bub Polston sent an excellent photograph of a perched chicken hawk. Wendy Burt responded immediately to assure your readers that this hawk did not indeed eat chickens, but dined exclusively on grasshoppers, mice, earthworms, etc. and would not, under any circumstances, eat a chicken.

Well, I suspect that Wendy is a fine person who, I fear, has fallen under the influence of a left-wing enviro-greenie biology teacher. Certainly Harry Copenhaver would never have tried to teach his students that chicken hawks don't eat chickens!

I believe I can, with two arguments, prove that chicken hawks can and will in fact eat chickens.

Keep the Adair County Marching Band in your prayers

By Sue Stivers

Monday morning about 4:30pmCT the Adair County Band (the world's greatest, so we think) with their leaders and supporters left Columbia, KY for the great city of New York to let the world know that we are here, just watch us.

Let us start and continue a prayer vigil for the band, their leaders and many supporters, the bus drivers. I understand there are seven busses which left at that time and another one later in the morning.

Let us pray for GOD'S watch, care and protection for a safe journey to N.Y. and while they are there and a safe journey back home.

The Adair County Band is scheduled to perform around 9:30am Central Time/10:30am Eastern Time. Turn on your TV's and watch them....We in Adair County are so proud of them....they are the only small band in history to be invited to participate in the Macy's Day Parade.

No wonder we are bragging!!!

Send this prayer request to others and keep the prayers going.
