we recently had hundreds of snow geese come to our fields in Nevada, isn't this unusual now?

Oh sure then.\nAnd I'll tell you what...\nBetween weather changes and Global Warming, a substantial number of upheavals are occurring in the life styles of many species, some to their unfortunate extinction when they change patterns and can't survive within the changed environment anyway.\nMankind is both a blessing and a curse!

Getting "Peppered" with bird shot while hunting is not all that uncommon an occurence. It happens. Most everyone who hunts birds will tell you that. Nothing would happen, it is an accident.\n\nThe uber-libs and the liberal media are blowing this completely out of proportion.

I don't know - I notice this too. I guess its all the pollution?\n\nI get excited if i see a sparrow on the bird table and there used to be millions of them.\n\nLet's encourage them back!

Not around here they aren't. I haven't heard any evidence to say they are, but it is possible. Not very likely however. I would say it is more likely that they are disapearing from a specific place, such as around you, because of changes in the climate, introducion of a new species that is competeing with or eating the bees, or something like that.

I just saw one right now, it's flying in the air!\n I think I'll go shoot it for dinner!  \nThanks for the duck!\nBye!

Yes they do. Look out below.\n\n*edit* I grew up in Wyoming along a migration root for Canadian Geese. There were some species that would winter in our lakes as well so we had geese year round.\n\nI can tell you that they poop in flight because through the years many of my friends and myself had our cars dive bombed while driving. A few had the misfortune to get hit themselves.\n\nIt doesn't hurt, goose poopie is soft, like a grey green pudding. It's just embarassing, especially when it's 10 degrees outside and it literally becomes a "steaming pile" on your head.\n\nElaborate enough for ya?

it can be every where specialy when  your country is hosting wild birds, but i wish this problem uprooted from all over the world soon.\n\nstay safe\nnn

The migration patterns of the flock of geese can be tracked very easily.

Hello Southern Neighbor,     Up North is remains the same.  The weather is turning colder now and sometimes we see snow flurries.   Fishing in the trout streams are good.   Getting colder now and they are still biting.  I caught five last week.  So good to eat.   I used to pickle them, but this year I have been limited.   The leaves are falling off the maple trees and sometimes there is frost on the windows of my vehicle.    The political issues remain the same divided crap.  We will be voting for our Govenors on November 7,  So we will see now if the Donkey's win or the Elephants .     Farmers are picking the corn and preparaing the soil for next years crops.   Pheasant hunting is  going on and also we can hunt deer with bow and arrows.    It is getting colder way up here in the North and our furnaces are clicking in.   Our three legged cat does not want to go out at nights anymore.  No more Robins around as they have flown down your way.   Thank you for askiing.   Take care my Good neighbor and stay well.

Yes, I've already been twice this season. Six of our 12 ski resorts have already opened in the past month. The other 6 are opening this week.

I have never heard of any paranormal significance in a flock of wild turkeys.  I do see several large flocks of them every day on the way to and from work.  Usually there are prehaps three dozen but I have seen over 100 of them at a time.  They usually are browsing for food in fields a few hundred yards from the highway but do come right up on the shoulder at times.  They have little fear if you stop the car and a friend once chased them and caught one by hand.  They are not nearly as wiley as hunters would have you believe.  During their mating season they act differently and the toms are all puffed up trying to attract a mate. Or is it mates?  They can fly but I have seldom seen it.  One flew up in front of my car a few years ago and smashed into the windshild (it did not break) covering the whole field of view (they are BIG) until it fell off.  They are a real hazard in my area rapidly replacing deer as the most animal/vehicle accidents.  Currently there are 10,000 deer hits a year here, I don't know the turkey hits but they can be nearly as damaging to an auto.

Over here on the Left Coast, on the Altamont Pass, there are windmill farms, wind power electricity generation to cut down on emissions.\n\nEnvironmentalists are suing to shut down the wind farms to stop the massive blades from killing the migratory birds.\n\nUseful idiots.

There could be a lot of reasons why this occurs.  If it is a migratory bird, that particular pond could be one that is revisited each year, some birds return each year to the site in which they were born (site natality), that pond could have the best food, access to more mates, less chance of being predated upon, certain birds stay with their flock/family.  There are so many variables as to why birds select certain habitats...hope I added some insight!

I doubt it, if it were a baby boar and the hawk was of the largest species then it's possible I guess.  Eagles dive at mountain goats to try and make them fall off cliffs so Hwks could try that I suppose, although I don't imagine you'd find many wild boar on cliffs!

In IL. it is considered harassment of wild animals! (except for coon hunting)

It is happening... look at all the data. However, I think that "greenhouse gases" are a little overplayed as the scape goat... we ARE coming out of an ice age, after all.

Manik...we have those here in the Yukon...Both private and Govy, with controle and non controle of the animals.....The controled ones are in a fenced off area, where they can study and breed the species they are working with. Usually to eradicate certain inherant deseases that are killing off those in the wild...they are in a natural setting and well looked after.....Limited public veiwing is usually the case...for obvious reasons...\n\nThe uncontroled ones are open ranges, usually appendixed to a national park, where none or limited hunting is alowed...\n\nHope this helps... :)...Yukoneze
