What birds do you spy from your combine cab?

[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? !!!!!!!

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.

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.

Sounds as if birds are well and thriving on farms.
Good stewards, you are.

So my treat for you:

Btw, does anyone have an old guitar for sale they
don't use anymore? Pars

When I drove down through Montana recently we
were commenting on the apparent complete absence
of birds for mile after mile. Dryland grain crops,
looked like much of it chem. fallowed, likely much
zero tilled. Just looked like a dead, sterile landscape
to me. What a depressing and unhealthy environment
to grow food in.

Lots of Birds this time of year, sandhill cranes, hawks, owls,night herons, great herons, every kind of duck, canada geese, turkey vultures. We live not far from the Quill Lakes, if you need insurance on your cereal crops just swath them the birds will help themselves.
