While jogging around Lake Nokomis, saw an idyllic scene of a mother duck escorting her flock of ducklings from a grassy knoll to the lake.
Suddenly a crow flew down and mobbed the ducks with its wings. In the confusion, the ducklings scattered. The crow then grabbed one of the ducklings by the neck and flew off with it. I threw a big stick at the crow to try to make it drop the duckling, but missed. Another bird tip. At least at Lake Nokomis, great blue herons like to fish at night using streetlamps. they wade into the water under or near the lamps, and use the light to see the fish and snare them. It is a great scene. Jay Clark Cooper P.S. I am noticing that more and more often people are posting messages without stating where they live. People are supposed to state their neighborhood or their ward district, and I find it interesting to know where people are from. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
