Don't miss out on next year's trips where you get the opportunity to see sandhill cranes and eagles! On January 25-27 and February 8-10 registered guests were taken around the Barren River Lake area to view sandhill cranes and several other critters out in the wild. Friday night guests learned facts and statistics about the sandhill cranes at a program presented by the local Kentucky Fish & Wildlife biologist. Saturday we loaded into passenger vans and headed out looking for cranes. The sites we visited included a roosting site, local farmers fields, and the Tailwaters (an Army corp of Engineer operated campground located below the dam). We viewed a variety wildlife such as deer, turkey, rabbits, fox, and otters. We saw several birds including song birds, hawks, water fowl, eagles, owls, and of course sandhill cranes. If you would like to know more about this event contact Jamie Avery at Barren River Lake State Resort Park 1-800-325-0057.
We were lucky enough to have some very talented photographers attend our tours. These two gentleman were nice enough to share their amazing pictures. Thank you to these gifted photographers. Take a look...
