Cholla Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Nice to see the elk. I have found old droppings behind the house but no sightings. The scrub jays will empty my bird feeder in hours! They swish back and forth with their beaks getting the sunflower seeds until everything is on the ground. All the birds and rock squirrels act like it's manna from heaven. Then the javalina come in and vacuum what's left up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 UB: Any chance that migrating elk could provide a justification for opposing the solar farm across your field? Around here, migrating birds, migrating whales and migrating turtles have been used by tree huggers to argue against various development projects, arguing that man-built structures would adversely affect established animal migratory pathways. Maybe you can take a play out of their playbook? LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Love watching elk. We used to get Western Scrub Jays at our feeders in Oregon. I like them but my neighbors did not. I really don't mind the bigger birds at my feeders. I like all birds, even crows. Though I draw the line at feeding Turkey Vultures, but I have considered feeding them certain people. Those were just passing fancies. EDIT: I hate pigeons. I will not feed them and will run them off. If I could go back in time I would go to France and stop those two French bastages from boarding that ship to New York in the 1700’s and bringing those winged-rats to the USA. Hell, I would feed rats over pigeons. I feed crows to keep pigeons away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
