[QUOTE="Robin W, post: 832967, member: 44436"] One of the most popular places to bird is over on the road that runs through the outer portion of the prison property, in La Grange, KY. It is a unique property that attracts more wildlife than many of the parks that are run to attract wildlife. It turns out it has a population of Bobolink's which have been disappearing from Kentucky but here they thrive, along with Short eared owls, Great Horned owls, many types of hawks, Eastern Meadow Lark, Red winged blackbirds, many varieties of ducks, geese, eagles, osprey, coyotes, foxes, Sora, Bobwhites, Bluebirds, Purple Martins, Tree Swallows, Barn Swallows, several other types of swallows, numerous small birds and I was even able to get a photo of a peregrine falcon once. They run cattle on the property and raise hay for the cattle, there are several small ponds and one small lake. No one but prisoners and employees are allowed on the property which is probably a good thing for the wildlife. However there's a public road that runs through the property and has become the viewing area. It is also surrounded by farms and a very small park that give access to one side of the small lake. They are probably going to close the prison soon and no one is really sure what is to become of it. I hope they realize what a wonderful treasure they have and preserve it.
