Received
another E Mail on the hawks. There
is a possibility that it could be another hawk, other than the Swainson's
Hawk. The other Hawk is a
"Broad-Winged Hawk". I
was so sure I had the answer when I learned of the Swainson's hawk. Will have to say that the Swainson's
Hawk would still be in his migration route, where as the Broad-Winged Hawk is
west of his migration path by about 50-100 miles. But that is no reason to say that it could not be, that
hawk. I remember a few years back
I was talking to our game warden, about Sandhills-Cranes. He told me he had never seen a
Sandhills crane in Burt County.
While hunting at Kohlers, there was 9 that got up just north of the
South lake and flew right over the blinds. Just a few years back, there was a
very strong west wind, and there was thousands of them flying down the Tekamah
bottom, that day and the next day.
So birds do get blown off their route. I guess we will just have to say
that there was something different going on when we and others seen all these
birds, doing in our eyes strange things, which, we had never seen it
before. But I know how Ralph
studies the skies, and for him to say that he had never witness this site
before, says something to me. A
sincere, "thanks boss" for pointing it out to us youngens that this
was an unusual site going on, above our heads.
Back to
hunting today. Again, plenty of
duck on the pond, this morning, but no hunters and home duties to handle, made
us close up and come home. Again
this morning we chased some geese off the water, but the skies were void of
them after that.
Our maker
provided us with a great sunrise, again this morning. The last two mornings they have been, great. This is from this morning.
Well, say
a prayer for all our young people that are protecting our country, tonight, and
every night.
Check
back, I hoping I will have a nice harvest to report on soon. Maybe they will be Specks.
See
ya. Carl
