Birds of Kentucky: Beautiful Mourning Dove visitor



2015-03-23 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Rare beauty - in a not so rare bird. Mourning Doves are frequent visitors in our yard. We never tire of their beauty or of their friendly nature. Somehow, they seem too gentle for their own good, too easy prey for cats and predator birds. They seem the embodiment of the Christian message - a true Jesus bird - although that term has already been taken by a bird which almost walks on water. It knows where the lily pads are! - CM

Dog at McDonald's a familiar Dog about Town

He'll go home when he's finished his daily round

Joyce M. Coomer writes:
Ed, I'm pretty sure that dog belongs to someone in town. I see him frequently and he's well fed and usually has a collar on. I hope no one picks him up and takes him to the animal shelter, as he apparently knows his way around town and will go back home when he finishes his daily schedule. - Joyce M. Coomer
