    My nephew had to come up with a science project and I suggested we work on one studying grasshoppers. Everything was going fine, the little guys were starting to hop around and nearing adulthood. But then I took a trip and came home and these Eastern Blue Bird bastards started picking them off, one by one.



    I couldn't bear it any longer, I grabbed my 12 gauge and blew away every squirrel, blue bird, cardinal or child around and our grasshoppers were saved.

    I've always thought hawks were really cool animals, but I don't blame you either, Hosa. Any pics of the little squakers yet?

    Thank god you don't live in Montana, because the Game Wardens here are almost akin to Paramilitary and would have thrown your in a deep dark hole, and let you rot there for as long as humanly possible.

    Although I would have notified Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (or your state's equivalent) first, since they're usually willing to remove predatorial animals outside of urban areas.

    It appears that the .org is now harboring criminals......

    Mess with the nest, die like the rest. Do you feel lucky, punk!

    That's getting off light. They just make us live the rest of our lives in the Empire Vampire State.
