bigugli Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Geez! What a nice surprise. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners delivered fresh to your doorstep.
lew Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah, doesn't get much better than that Bruce LOL
G.mech Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 My in-laws stop by unexpectedly sometimes too....
misfish Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 My in-laws stop by unexpectedly sometimes too.... Thats cool Lew. Im thinking thats a second hatch .
SirCranksalot Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Tell them to come back Oct 12---they are invited for dinner!!
Cast-Away Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Dit they gobble up the bugs in your lawn Lew?
captpierre Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Very nice. Always amazes me how the chicks survive predation. The adults can fly and roost in trees. But the young?
NANUK Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 You're very lucky to have neighbors like that ! They look a bit disappointed . You killed their breakfast
OhioFisherman Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Great! All I see is buzzards, I think they come to check up on me! Is he done yet? LOL
Beavertail Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Very nice. Always amazes me how the chicks survive predation. The adults can fly and roost in trees. But the young? The young are very strong fliers, no problem at all getting into trees to roost. They make it look easier than the adults do, after all they are only a fraction of the weight of the adults....any 20lb+ bird has to work to get airborne!

Beavertail Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah, pretty vulnerable for the first couple weeks while stuck on the ground. Survival rates go way up once they start flying. I heard some can fly by 10 days.
