On Jan. 20, 1928, the Daily News published a story about seasonally unusual animal sightings in Bowling Green and Warren County.

Despite the season, a gentleman reportedly was able to successfully go frog hunting. Another report tells of a man who killed a snake crossing Richardsville Road. The two-and-a-half feet long garter snake broke its brumation to bask on the unusually warm road to keep warm. A local attorney was reported to have seen five robins in his yard, as well.
