[birdky] Re: birdky - northern KY

Darlena, the left turn off of the Petersburg exit ramp of I-275 South, takes
you to the "no outlet" road - Garrison Creek Road (Garrett was close  8>) ).
I agree with you that this is a good road and like you said, a quick drive
thru.  BTW, near the end of GCR, is one area where I have seen the Blue
Grosbeaks on several occasions.  Good birding to all.
