Letter: Robins left evidence of their diet all over our cars Wendy Butler Burt writes: According to the Smithsonian Institution's "Birds of North America," Robins eat earthworms, insects and, in winter, berries and fruits make up the bulk of their diet. The American Robins, very common members of the thrush family (Bluebirds also are thrushes), can strip an American Holly of all its berries in one day. They did this every year to an enormous holly in our yard, and left evidence of their diet all over our cars. --WendyComments re article 102295 Letter doesnt think Robins eat berries 2019-02-13 09:21:46 | Comments | Printable version

A stroll to Hodgenville - 90 mile round trip By JIM Fred Rainwater, a tall, lanky lad from western Pulaski County and unquestionably Lindsey Wilson's first athletic superstar, dominated the Training School's Field Day competitions from 1907 through 1912. In 1910, he represented Lindsey in the foot races at a track meet in Danville and took top honors in the one- and two-mile events, and finished second in the half-mile run.
