    What birds do you spy from your combine cab?

    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?

    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.

      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!

        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.

          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.

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

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

                    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.
