Tominator Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 While you're sipping your morning coffee. I saw a crow being hounded by a black bird, which is not unusual, but upon closer observation, said crow had a baby black bird in his beak. Momma looked upset, lol. :boxing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sounds like potential for a good picture post.:yes: No telling what we might see round here while sipping coffee, plenty of bird activity to keep entertained. Watched a bachelor group of bucks last week one morning, one was at least a 3 year old that looked promising, grabbed the binos rather than the camera and watched them for a while.

The Bug House Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 or sipping...... ...a cold one after mowing last night. It was just past dusk and I noticed several Little Brown Bats cruising the airspace above my backyard for the first time this year. We have always bats in the area, and sometimes they roost inbetween my chimney and house. Initially I was going to seal up the entrance during the winter, but considering White Nose Syndrome has decimated the North Easts' bat population by up to 90%, I was happy to see them!

ruttinbuc Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I had one of those bold catbirds trying to pick a fight with a female downy woodpecker at the suet. Quite the sight to see the little woodpecker hold her own against the egg thief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimT Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I turned to the left today just in time to see a tennis ball hit me in the face. That was less then desirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisha Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I don't drink coffee. You are missing out! The nuthatches and goldfinches are hard at work getting some grub this morning and the fog is lingering - inhibiting me from finishing up the paint work on my chicken coop. :2guns: I'm also seeing the backs of my eyelids quite a bit this morning.... struggling to stay awake.

Dawg Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 You are missing out! I've tried it but can't acquire the taste for it. There are times I can force it down on a cold winter morning to get warm. The stuff is just plain nasty. :pacman: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 While you're sipping your morning coffee. Sounds like potential for a good picture post.:yes: The white birds are not here year round, sure you can id the bird? Few weeks ago one of the cows chased off a half dozen or so birds a couple times before the birds left and did not come back, was kind of funny to watch. Seeing these little ones just about every morning right after the sun gets up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 If they have a little orangish crest on their heads, that's a cattle egret. Makes sense since it's around your cattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we thought too.:yes: Bird book we had is missing since we moved. Saw a doe and fawn last week one morning, no chance for grabbing a camera they did not stick around. Should be some fawns showing up in the yard, saw 3 doe and fawn sets yesterday in the bottom, from what I could tell one had twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong Corey, but always thought cowbirds were little blackish brown birds that hang around the cows feet. We got them around too.

I guess the cowbird varies from state to state. Not so sure we have the little blackish brown birds here. Then again, I don't own any cattle so I really wouldn't know lol. After looking at your picture a little closer, it looks like the white bird you have and the white bird I was referring to are different. Maybe I can snap a pic of one down here and upload it.

lil hunter Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I drink coffee from about 6 am til lunchtime. Thats the only way I make it through a day... I usually see one or ten of these hover by. Theres a flight line no more than 100 yards from my shop, so it got annoying after the first week or two of being here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
