Crows on the other hand are a different story

they have some kind of electromagnetic sensor in their beaks
that can either smell or somehow sense freshly sprouted corn
that hasn't sprouted thru the soil. Which reminds me (note to self)
"assemble clothes to make scare crow"

i sat with binoculars and watched a crow go right up my corn row
and eat all my swollen corn seeds.

while dry they are just starch but when germination occurs and they begin growing
the corn kernel turns to SWEET and they LOVE that to no end.

In the corn belt you can literally hear the screeching of the corn as it grows, mostly in July....

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Went back to the Herring Run on the Ditch today and got really close up to the King Eider. The drake in full breeding plumage is normally only seen above the Arctic Circle

thanks Raven and these are the PowerPoint version....originals are 20Mb RAW files. Started using the tripod again and sunlight definitely help getting high shutter speeds.

Putting the feeder(s) away for now,the grackle invasion is in full swing.Was hoping to catch my local sharpie snagging one but he hasn't made a try...at least not when I've been watching.

Really looking forward to turning over some soil and getting the gardens going.Patiently awaiting the arrival of my reaper pepper seeds.

Might try putting a suet feed packed with orange halves, as orioles do love fruit!
We get them here in Hyde Park just around the time our crab apple tree blooms. They are also fond of fruit tree blossoms as well.

They are most vocal and most active when wooing a mate and chasing off rival males. They perform some of the best aerial avian dogfighting I've seen since seeing jays, mocking birds and grackles dive-bombing crows and hawks.


We have 2 hummingbirds visiting our feeders regularly, and they also do some fancy bird-chasing as well!

I am a legend in my own mind!
