Course

It rises as Red Bird Creek in northeastern Bell County, then becomes the Red Bird River at the confluence of the Phillips Fork just south of Queendale in Clay County. Continuing north, it forms the boundary between Clay and Leslie counties, eventually coming to a confluence with Goose Creek at Oneida to form the South Fork of the Kentucky River.
