Birders

Mostly ravens and vultures flying around here. Even so, being on a ridge, it's fun to watch them surf the thermals from the ravines below.

The hawk is a magnificent creature, and being out in the woods, I *really* appreciate the rodent hunting. I heard some owls early this morning, and that's a sweet sound. Only saw owls once. They are very secretive.

As far as I can tell, the birds don't go for small animals. Lots of bunnies here, and they aren't shy at all.

Quail will scatter if I make a noise or move 100 feet away.

Thanks for the reply and the nice story.
