With the new month I thought I would visit the new Big Rivers Wildlife
Management Area and State Forest:
http://fw.ky.gov/kfwis/arcims/wma.asp?strId=9203
The old railroad trail is a really nice walk. Since it was once a
railroad to carry coal to the Ohio River, it is nice and level cutting
through the hilly terrain.
Forested and with small open areas of corn and by the Ohio a field of
beans.
Not great weather for birding: overcast and breezy. But I didn't get
hot! No mosquitos or biting flies.
And I got home with only 5 ticks.
Highlights:
Kentucky Warblers singing.
all the turkey hens and broods
1 skunk
Deer: 2 bucks, 1 doe with fawn nursing, 2 more doe
