What are the best spots around Louisville, KY to shoot wildlife?

Question

Just as the title says, does anyone know any good wildlife spots around Louisville, KY? I am interested in birds, small critters, but also larger animals.

Answer

I love going to Papa John's Park over off of Bluegrass Parkway. If you're able to travel and getting up early, you can go to Birnhim just south of Louisville near bardstown. They have some awesome woods and trees.

May sound silly, but when I got into photography several years ago, I got a season pass to the Louisville Zoo and had some awesome learning experience and amazing photos.

Just across the bridge, you can check out Falls of the Ohio and get some awesome water shots.

Over by riverfront, there's a water park that has sprinklers that makes for neat photos.

If you have a dog and member of a Louisville Dog park, you can go and get some cool pictures of dogs running.
