Birds of Kentucky: Red-tailed Hawk 2026-10-05 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. All About Birds says, "The best way to find a Red-tailed Hawk is to go for a drive, keeping your eyes peeled along fenceposts and in the sky. Chances are good that the first hawk you see will be a Red-tailed Hawk. Just make sure to look for the buteo shape (broad, rounded wings; short tail), then check field marks like the dark bars on the leading edge of the wing. Across most of the continent, Red-tails are more numerous in winter, when birds from the far north arrive to join the birds that live in your area year round."

ACHS Assistant Principal JR Thompson shares, "The end of an era at Adair County High School - after 28 years of service, our school secretary Mrs. Kim Gilpin Turner retired. She has been the first face each person saw each time they entered our school and has been diligent to service our community, students, parents and staff faithfully. I don’t know our school without Mrs. Kim and will miss her bright smile and warm welcome each day. As with life, seasons change and I wish her the very best as she enjoys her much deserved retirement. We will miss you, Kim! Thank you for all that you’ve done to make our school the wonderful place that it truly is. Once and Indian, always an Indian." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
