Good morning COINS!!!

I need that murder of crows you have. They will run the hawks off. Every year in late July thru most of August, all the blackbirds disappear around here - then they will return in September.

My daughter and I were leaving for town the other evening and counted 18 hawks circling together for the dinner hunt...I did make a call to wildlife people who informed me that, while unusual to see that many together (as hawks are loners) that what I was seeing was young hawks being taught to hunt and that the food source must be rich in that area for them.

So, my father suggested I go to the sporting goods and get a crow call. He said I would need to get into the bushes or down under trees where the bird could not see it was me. I suspect this is just for everyone's further entertainment.

I asked my son to bring his drone out - got a hard no.

Now my plan is to wait until my young neighbor has a drinking party and maybe they can break out the pellet gun. Okay...probably not.

I'm tired COINS. I do not like being bested by a forken group of hawks.
