ask johnr or ross to tell the story about the seagull snatching up a baby rabbit at cutty and dropping it and smashing it on the rocks.

Nature doesn't care about cute, cuddly or fair!
Nature craves carnage, whether it be a large carnivore or a small herbivore. That's why they say "survival of the fittest" instead of "mean birds picking on furry little animals".

Hows this for karma: I see crows, up to a dozen, harassing a red-tailed hawk. They chased it out of town, and I mean relentlessly chased it out of town NON STOP!

Then I see smaller birds band together and harass a crow away from their nesting sites. Bluejays, cardinals, mocking birds, grackles, cowbirds and even the finches and chickadees all had a hand in driving the crow away.


Now I wish there were a "natural" way to drive away the geese and cormorants from many of our fishing spots.
Nothing beats the smell of festering bird crap on a hot spring/summer day to turn you off from fishing that spot!

I am a legend in my own mind!

Watched green sea turtles hatching on some nature channel recently, talk about feeding frenzy, birds diving and snatching them off the beach and shallows. No wonder their first instinct as soon as their little heads break free of the eggs and nest is to run like hell to the water.
