Island Of Misfits

[WeedHopper]

We had an extremely rare pair of Golden Sandhill cranes come by. Everything was fine until one of them was curious about my screened porch, and casually walked over to it...

...and poked his fargin long beak through it!!

Hadda chase them both outa the joint. Sheesh.

Another pair (ordinary kind) came up my driveway:

These big birdies are absolutely too fargin friendly. They will eat cookies out of your hand even though they are as wild as can be.

Did you know that those birds mate for life. They stay together until they die.

G'Morning, y'all!

Good morning Islanders. More rain today, but we needed it. It's the kind that works best; slow and steady. I can hear the grass sucking it up. I'll be mowing my fanny off next week, but that's ok.

My neighbor half a mile down the road brought me a dozen ears of sweetcorn last night. I feel sorry for city folks that have never tasted it when it's freshly picked. You'll never get it sweeter than when it goes from stalk to dinner plate within fifteen minutes. It almost makes your teeth hurt!

Do they taste like chicken?
Very Cool

Nah... More like American Eagle.

 

[WeedHopper]

They are very cool birds. When i lived in Florida i seen them all the time.

I never knew that. I knew about swans, though.

 

[WeedHopper]

They taste like beef. (sand hill crane) We call them ribeye of the sky. Very tasty... Where I lived in NM. We new it was going to freeze soon as up to 30,000+ would show up at the huey game preserve. (lived a mile from it) Noisy birds and you don't look up when a flock flew over lol.

More critterz from NM

my chicken predator is a male red tailed hawk .. I'll have to get a package of those airport popper shotgun shells .. skeer 'em off

After losing four hens in five days (would have been five for five if I hadn't kicked him off), the hawk that was treating my chicken flock like an all you can eat buffer died of lead poisoning.

 

[Hippie420]

Beautiful birds, Walt. Only thing like them around the ranch is an occasional Great Blue Heron. Did have a hen turkey fly through my unopened sliding glass door a few years back.

When it is moose season and you are leaving for work... and see this on your lawn:

Suicidal moose...?

The wife took off to spend the night with the middle son and his family, along with some others from the family, at a campground. My disability doesn't allow for such things for me but, I plan to enjoy the time to myself, been a while since I've had any of that. I think later I'll get good and baked and watch The Irishman. I've had that movie for a while now but, haven't found the time to watch it yet because it's so long, 3 1/2 freakin' hours!

Have a great Fryday all!

 

[WeedHopper]

Just put my grandson down for a nap. My ass is wore out. I wish i had that boys Energy.

 

[Rudedude]

Enjoy the night peoples, I'm going to watch some golf, smoke some dope, play some guitar and eat a lil ice cream.
