those images of that tame bird are amazing...and scarey... beware, it could be all part of a ruse to psyc you out into giving up before you even load your gun...think about it...you go exploring your usual spots and expecting to put up a few wild birds as usual,...but instead.... nothing, nada, zip...cept you got this tame one hangin around like a trained chicken, lookin so cute...ah tell yah, they are workin on yah, tryin to git into yo head... resist ah tell yah...resist... as best you can... is there a recantation of "the raven" perhaps workin here? https://poets.org/poem/raven

Ed: That bird is far-more at risk than I am of being psyched out by it. I wouldn't shoot it now because it's being enjoyed by some others here, but if a goshawk comes by while it's hanging around out in the open...

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/8BK3EoHh.jpg) Finally! The leaves are starting to thin out a bit and I'm finally seeing more birds. Still not many young birds showing up however.

Lloyd, that looks like a huge bird!
We shot mostly small birds. One was "extra small". LIke quail size. Never seen such a small bird during hunting season.

You're welcome Ed. I am missing my English 16 (ammo and questionable transport issues caused me to leave it behind this year). That is a Dickenson Estate (28 tubes on a .410 frame). Not a fine gun, but an adequate upland gun and very easy to carry (5 1/4 lbs). BrentD: It is a mature bird, for sure. Very few young birds here this year. I've encountered only one or two (including the tame one here at the house). Poor nesting success this Spring is likely the culprit. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/gehuJKWh.jpg)
