[birdky] Purple Gallinule directions

Here are the directions to the Purple Gallinule, but I must note that at
this point there is not an understanding that birders will just "show up"
any time, so you should be sure to call ahead and arrange a time with the
Biebighauser's for visiting. Tom noted to me that they have a fairly
agressive dog that should be avoided, so they will want to assure that the
dog is inside. Their home number is 606/784-6175. 

Directions: the bird is in Rowan County, northwest of Morehead off KY 32;
3415 Sugarloaf Mountain Road; Travel I-64 to exit 133 (Farmers/Sharkey) (if
coming from east you can take KY 32 exit at Morehead and intersect this
route). Take a left and travel north on Highway 801.  Turn right to travel
east on Highway 158.  Turn right at the stop sign and travel south on
Highway 32.  Turn Right on the Bullfork Road, by the Mount Pisgah Church
sign.  Turn left onto Hyatt Lane.  Stay on Hyatt Lane and it will turn into
Sugarloaf Mountain Road at the intersection (don't turn left into Pine
Hills).  Our mail box is about a mile down the road on the right.  You'll
see many prairie grasses in the fields next to the road in front of our
home. Our name and house number are on the mailbox, and our driveway runs
along the fishing pond where I took the photographs. 

David found the bird on a small cattail pond that is immediately below the
driveway (which serves as the dam for the fishing pond). 

The bird may have or definitely has a bad wing, so at some point it might be
worth thinking about gathering it in for a rehabber, but for right now I
imagine the best course of action is to allow birders to see it and consider
that later if it remains.
