Hey Joe - The Ky Dept of Fish and Wildlife burned fields at the Marietta Booth
Tract of the Clay WMA in Fleming County yesterday and today. The kestrels,
red-tails, and turkey vultures show up rather quickly it seems after a burn.
There are usually plenty of displaced meadow voles running around in plain site
on the blackened earth. Easy pickins'.
