Idk, I’m not willing to chance some kind of bird herpes!

These must have been from the Flintstones days.

@Hammer Down Yo dude, why you got Robin's jock strap? Better not let Batman find out!

Does watching your own chickens count?

Just don’t count them before they hatch.

39 hatched chickens, 15 of which almost of laying age (except roosters). Hopefully some pewee eggs for my birthday!

Not more than a couple hours ago I was watching Deadliest Catch and there were a bunch of Bald Eagles at the docks in the show. And I was thinking to myself how I have never once seen a Bald Eagle here in Indiana. I have seen them before in West Virginia and a couple other places, but never here.

I was just outside and one flew right over my head, tree top high and he looked down right at me. It is by far the craziest thing that has ever happened to me, because I was just wondering why I have never seen one here. I was pretty much in shock.

Anyone know what kind of bird this is?

As seen at my house over past two weeks…not sure if the one on the garage is a young hawk of some sort

momma turkey and her offspring

and one of the young deer in the yard

Saw one of these yesterday. First time I have ever seen one, and I guess they are a very rare bird to see. It is the Yellow Breasted Chat. They supposedly have some pretty cool songs, which might explain the very pretty bird calls I have heard lately that I've never heard before.

We just had these guys come through Iowa .

 

[WickedFog]

Yep. This is the crazy bird I have been hearing out back.

I have a couple of feeders around my place, around this time of the year all of the pretty bird sounds will get drowned out by "plagues" of grackles. They're mean but they're good at keeping predators out of the yard.

Grackles have the coolest eyes.

Grackles have the coolest eyes.

Never heard them called Grackles. We just call em Blackbirds. Pretty interesting.
