Birds of Kentucky: Killdeer 2025-09-05 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. A Killdeer on a close fly-by. All About Birds says of them, "The Killdeer's broken-wing act leads predators away from a nest, but doesn't keep cows or horses from stepping on eggs. To guard against large hoofed animals, the Killdeer uses a quite different display, fluffing itself up, displaying its tail over its head, and running at the beast to attempt to make it change its path."

History and preservation offered at Wolf Creek 2025-09-04 - Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery, completed in 1975, was established to mitigate for habitat changes that resulted from the construction of many federal dams throughout the Southeast. Native populations of warm water fishes such as bluegill, smallmouth bass, and catfish, used to thrive in these streams. After construction of the dams, the habitat was changed to a cold water fishery. The Russell County hatchery raises over 1,000,000 brook trout, brown trout, cutthroat trout, and rainbow trout each year, which thrive in cold water.
