I imagine a number of factors contribute to the attractive power of that area. Here's one: the lake is still broad there, but it's very shallow, mostly 5 - 6 ft. -Geo On Mar 11, 2013, at 1:29 AM, "Barbara B. Eden" wrote: > I am curious why that is the place where the snow geese and tundra s

I am sure this is not a similar report - but last week on Comfort Rd a bunch of crows were harrassing a male Ringnecked Pheasant which was standing in the road. As we approached the crows flew and the pheasant moved slowly on foot towards the shoulder. On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 11:03 AM, Susan Fast

I was just looking in the field across the road from our house and noted about a dozen crows really going after what I initially thought was another crow. This bird was slightly smaller than the crows, but otherwise looked, from a distance, just like them. The crows forced it to the ground; 2 cr
