Birds in Flight at Night
 

From time to time I'll see a gull flying by in the night time sky. I had always thought that they didn't fly at night and left night time flight to the other nocturnals (bats, owls, etc.).

BasicPatrick landed a seagull by night the other night! Flew into his line as he cast.....released to fly another day....just shy of 28 inch wing span!:jump:

tastes like chicken

I love it when geese fly about ten feet over your head and you can hear the wind on their feathers :cool:

Most migratory birds move during the night time on there long journeys for what that's worth:rolleyes:

I see that at night all the time. Always thougt that it was odd and the birds always seem to be flying with a sense of urgency. On a side note, my brothers and I were fishing Bayside Truro one Oct. night and something HUGE flew over us. Blacked out the stars and didn't make a sound. I would still like to know what THAT was.

Probably a Great Herron. I had one do the same thing to me, startled me something awful.

UFO :alien:

I flushed a Turkey Vulture from a swamp one night and it left skid marks in my shorts. They are HUGE and sound like a freight train taking off.:pop:

Owls are starting to show up. Some of them are HUGE, especially to a field mouse.
