    Saw some activity around my new houses today and did some investigation this afternoon. Someone is taking up residence.

    I think our northern Canadian BC friends nicked name BE’s right ….”Flying Rats” … lol
    I love GE’s, but I find it hard to get close to them, very aloof in my travels. (handled both..?) Are you a falconer?
    96B42435-1A2E-4D80-8B01-53DE9215F52F.jpg
    most my GE pics are from afar, and the heat waves make em blurry :(

    But don’t get me wrong flying rat or not the shear strength and beauty of raptors has a soft spot in my heart!

    At times I zoom in to the eyes in the pic’s and I feel I was getting stared at… or sometimes wonder if it’s looking at its reflection in the lens….? Lol

    @Steelhead Taco I'm not a falconer. I'm a wildlife biologist. Back in college days I volunteered at a raptor center.

    Anyone played the game Wingspan? Just got it a few months ago with a few expansion packs, it's a pretty good game.

    I guess I need to reply/respond to my statement. BE’s are still “bitch” birds. But they are magnificent, beautiful creatures. I live in extreme NW Alabama along the Tennessee river. They are very common these days, not the case as I was growing up. It’ll take a minute to find these, and they are not my pics. They were shot by a buddy of mine. I think he stated this was a $7,000.00 Cannon lense?

    Hi all,

    I have a grey francolin mother that has been sitting on her nest of 7 eggs for around 7 weeks now right by my bbq. Pretty sure the eggs are shot now but she is still trying to incubate them.

    Next time she's off the nest should I get rid of them or just leave nature be?
