This is a favorite lane that I travel often in my Oldham County, Kentucky. On this lane , just over a mile long is where eleven species of plains birds come to nest and rear their young in the Spring. This is also where Short-eared owls and Northern Harriers drop down from Canada to cruise the fields and enjoy their late Autum and Winters. I love this little lane where I have watched birds, other wildlife as well as brilliant sunsets and glorious sunrises. I hope that you will enjoy thei entry as well~

Some of you have followed my blog since the beginning and I so appreciate each of you. Some have never visited my blog and I invite you to now. When you get to the end of a post, it will prompt you to go to next, or last entry. You can also look at all of the labels on the left and choose what might interest you the most. If you can, leave a comment, because I will publish them and they will be saved for always.
