Bird Fay remembers more grayish, rounded, than Pileated Looking forward to Great Backyard Bird Count, February 17-20, 2012 By Fay W McKinley The bird I remember was not as black as the Pileated - more grayish and I don't remember the white. Also, its body was rounder. It was shaped more like a very small chicken so I guess that is why people called it woodhen and also why I didnt recognize it in the bird books. Maybe my memory isn't as good as it used to be. Sometimes the older we get the less we remember things correctly. Thanks for a quick answer. And thank you, Wendy, for the info, I am looking forward to the Big Bird Count. --Fay W McKinleyComments above re: Fay's peckerwood is a Pileated woodpecker 2012-01-11 18:01:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Birds of Kentucky

JIM: Mill Wheels Grindin' - 2 Mike Watsons needed to keep track Yet another timely enlightenment from JIM. Only yesterday, while having coffee at the Circle R, I learned from renowned Adair County (okay, Russell County claims him, but he was born and lives in Adair County) artist Leo Bryant of his childhood memories of a mill upstream from Young's Mill on Russell Creek, which I had never known existed. Only remnants are left, but Mr. Bryant said he could probably paint it from memory - and, as everyone who has seen his "Star Theater" (Link includes The Columbia Hotel with Campbellsville Stagecoach and other Leo Bryants) print knows, such a work would be a masterpiece. - ED WAGGENER By Jim Sue Ingram Sherman's letter: (Jim's Tidbits reminds her of family ties to Columbia mill business set me to thinking (a dangerous proposition at best). For the quarter-century or thereabouts from the closing years of the 19th century through about the end of World War I, it would take two Mike Watsons to write the history of all the mills -- planing, roller, grist, and otherwise - that operated in Adair County; and those two Mikes would need a battalion of scorekeepers to keep track of who was working with whom and who was partners with whom on any given day.
