What birds do you spy from your combine cab?

[parsley]

The purple martins are sqwapping, flitting about,
carrying on like a locker room full of teens after a
victory, cheery and perky.They are getting ready
to leave any day now. I'll miss their chatter!
Swallows are still hatching eggs. Hummingbirds
are wild about the flowers. Lots of waterfowl.
Slough pumps are common. What are you
seeing?

[parsley]

Pyramids only two moles in the yard, so far. But I
did trap a big fat aggressive skunk two days ago.
Cocky. Raiding the cat dish too often. Pars.

[Burbert]

Comedian Geese, Hawks, Ravens, GONE are
the mallard ducks, sharptail grouse, and
ruffed grouse. A few sparrows of course.
Our fram is South of Fort McMoney, soos I
guess the ducks are now at the bottom of
their tar ponds. Shame on the fu*kn
oilies fer doin that to the mallards!

[freewheat]

Vultures soaring above poached elk that
idiots drove through my canola to gut and
load. Pelicans on a lake that is supposed
to have no fish, swallows, hawks, etc.

But this is from the truck cab, as
combining is two weeks away still.

[wd9]

The full grown and large female spotted
hail bird. Comes generally around in the
good years, very often this year with
frequent spottings! Especially as of late
feeding on canola swaths with its
voracious appetite.

[cottonpicken]

The darn partridge and grouse keep hiding in the
swath and getting sucked up by the combines more
than usual this year.

[GreenValley]

If I have fishing net to catch darn 2
swallow birds that trying flew toward me
as trying to scare me.It so close about
2 to 3 arm length been trying to catch
them with my hand.

[mustardman]

Lots of redtail and swainsons hawks gathering.
Swarms of seagulls doing their synchronized dance especially in the peas.
looking for grasshopper protein I suspect

[newguy]

Huns ..hawks..and mud hens.

[fjlip]

Guessing several hundred crows stayed around for a week in the spruce and canola field. What a racket!
Ravens following the swather hoping for lunch.
Martins are gone most of the time, perhaps for good.
The usual squawky magpies.

[FarmRanger]

Pheasants, partridge, and lots of hawks

[checking]

Those goofy birds do like to walk a wheat swath right into a feeder housing.

When you combine near a major highway, there are plenty of chicks clocking 100km. Do they count as birds? !!!!!!!

[furrowtickler]

Seen some sandhill cranes in the standing 73-45 today, could still see there legs - no shit. Glad we only have a test plot. Might just burn it.

[furrowtickler]

Their, that is..

[dalek]

Crazy amounts of turkeys and geese. Turkey
vultures. The odd tundra swan. Lots of gulls,
blackbirds and crows and too many smaller ones to
mention. Saw a bald eagle not long ago. Lots of
hawks, eagles and ducks, occasionally an osprey.
Saw a heron standing where the pond used to be
last week, looking forlorn.

Not combining now, busy trying to make as many
raccoons and porcupines dead as possible. They're
costing me about an acre of corn every night. Lots
of bear damage in the neighbourhood but they
don't seem to be hitting me yet.
