Must be fall. There's usually a massive herd that flies form house to house, including my parents house, going around eating all the grubs before flying south and the ground freezes?

Crows are like elephants, they never forget (or forgive), and they go a step further and tell their friends to hate you too. http://news.discovery.com/animals/zoo-animals/angry-crows-memory-life-threatening-behavior-110628.htm I'd be willing to bet your owl friend ate / attacked a crow or two

razz posted:I ought to take a picture of this old ad I have framed in my house. It's a drawing of a Peregrine nailing a duck mid-flight and the heading is DUCK FOOD or something like that. If you go on to read the article, it's kind of a public service announcement for hunters telling them to shoot all hawks on sight because they're killing the ducks the hunters want to shoot. This was printed in popular hunting magazines and was once an acceptable form of "game management". Would have liked to see the ads about the buffalo ruining train tracks for whatever back in the day.

Mr. Squishy posted:Hawks aren't always a swooping on a duck, you know. Sometimes they do other things, & then they may be shot safely. I truly concerns me how these ducks didn't go extinct with all these predators about before guns and all. baffling... Every time I'm in the woods and a hawk let's me see it, it's always chasing food. Last time is was a quail / grouse / pheasant thing. Sounded like a god danm helicopter when flying around. Very powerful wings on both the hawk and the mystery ground bird.

I need some help IDing a duck. It has a black head with a mohawk (black spiky messy) Like a Female common merganser but maybe a little longer. It has a tan breast. The back is black on the top of the back, with a white stripe and is grey near the wings. As I say top to bottom; Imagine it like a duck floating on water. instead of neck to tail. Edit: Duck Duck Guess.jpg  DOUBLE EDIT: Is it a red breasted Merganser? Marshmallow Blue fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Feb 13, 2014 |
