Nice work!

I'm not a fan of the cormorant at all.....they're breeding like sewer rats over at Lake Renwick too.....

I would really like to know what they taste like? Anyone ever tried? Big birds, should provide a nice meal. I figure it's better than donating them to the raccoons.

One of my recipe books says they taste fishy. Not good or bad, just fishy.

Buddy of mine got shit on by a turkey buzzard, left a bruise and smelled worse than week old dead carp.

twas on a north central illinois stream, see I'm getting more specfic in my dotage.
What a long, strange trip it still is .

Saw a couple of little yellow birds in my tree yesterday, pretty cool. I think they are some kind kind of finches? Saturday around mid-night I heard an owl that was pretty close. About 10 minutes later another one starting hooting back from quite a distance away. Exactly why I like sleeping with the windows open. Simple things like that make my day. I hope they are looking to feast on the over abundence of rabbits we have here!! Next time I will have my flash light ready, so I can check them out. Anybody else seeing anything interesting? (owls , coyotes ,fox, deer movement, turkey, maybe a wandering wolf or cool birds? Lets hear it! :mrgreen:

Hey Ken I forgot to ask, what kind of wildlife has been showing up at your back door lately?

A couple of days ago I walked out into my backyard and startled a turkey. Or the turkey startled me would be a better way to put it.

We're 100 yards from the ravine and this thing had to fly over 3 fences to get to my yard. I have no idea why it did that. There's nothing in my yard for it to eat.

I'm still told they are pets and to be left alone.

I don't think that's being fair. It bothers me to see perfectly good menu items wandering around my house.
