Birds of KY: Where have the whippoorwills gone? Her hypothesis suggests egg-stealing turkeys to blame By Joyce Coomer For as long as I can remember, the clear, carrying call of the whippoorwill could be heard from early April to late in the summer across the countryside, from just after dusk until just before dawn. However, the past several years, I have seldom heard a whippoorwill anywhere near our farm. When we first moved there, there were at least two whippoorwills who sang all night long in the spring and summer seasons. What has happened to this wonderful harbinger of spring? Are my suspicions correct: Turkeys have killed the whippoorwills on the nests and eaten the eggs, thereby driving this wonderful bird to the brink of extinction? - Joyce M. Coomer 2013-05-29 14:55:44 | Comments | Printable version

Leonard Burton theories of Gooleys vs. Burton Burtons Gleaned on the Square. With lessons for the rest of us on not doing work which ought not be did in the first place. Theory probably settles age-old controversy. Transcription by Ed Waggener, largely unembellished After revelations from Mr. Gerald Doss Pellytonian Gerald Doss says fellow townsman Leonard Burton knew how to tell which was which among the Burtons. Leonard Burton told Mr. Doss that, so far as he knew, the issue of Gooley Burtons vs. Burton Burtons is not a matter of heredity, at all. DNA and genetic make-up have nothing to do with it.
