Friendly Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 our back yard has about 10 - 20 bald eagles...there used to be more, until the city cut down a massive three they roosted in for a sewage upgrade. I go to bed and wake up to them chittering away usually...cept when it's the salmon run, cause then they're gone baby gone, LoL! 4 1 Quote Link to comment

It was cool..i was looking for a disc that I shanked off a tree lol...all of a sudden I hear this thing over my head and it was that bird. Thing was massive, probably had a 4-5ft wingspan. He watched me as I searched for my disc, then just took off. He was just hanging out, let me get that pic of him. 1 Quote Link to comment

I thought that when I saw it too- I was forced to read “I Heard the Owl Call My Name” in junior high and never forgot it. Not creepy but for some reason that native belief stuck with me. 3 Quote Link to comment

I want to make friends with a crow to see what shiny things it will bring me. You guys are lucky to have such cool animals near your homes. I just get regular old robins and chickadees. And bunnies galore that leave poop piles EVERYWHERE!! 2 2 Quote Link to comment

At an old house I lived in, there was a dead tree with a hollow part up top. Never saw an adult but baby owls would poke their heads out every year and just watch around. Very cool to see. There is a bird sanctuary not too far from me that basically every animal around are so used to being fed, they just crawl all over you. Chipmunks, squirrels, woodpeckers, Robin's, blue Jay's, turkeys... you name it, they'll land right on you and hang out. There is a decent sized hawk that always swoops real close down around a corner of the trail but it doesnt seem like it is done in a territorial way. I want to bring a mouse and a glove one day and see if it will take it from my hand. 3 Quote Link to comment

We actually have a fox that lives in the neighborhood. If you rifle through my Instagram I took a pic of the one and a video. Its going back pretty far though. He's about 30 pounds. Little smaller than my dog. He hangs out in my yard sometimes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

This thing's in big trouble if I ever find it! 🧐🤔🤓 Judging by the berry contents and what is seemingly fiber-like in structure or insect fragments, along with the impressive size, I can confidently rule out any bird of the finch family. Judging by the proportiantly small urate left behind, I would also rule out any water or coastal bird. That sir, is left behind by a member of the order Passeriformes, family most presumably being that of Corvidae. 4 Quote Link to comment
