Some fun, huh?

I know I sound "gushing". But, I have seen many birds "up close". I've had Ruffed Grouse challenge me, scratching and throwing leaves as they ruffed out and defined the line. I've sat 2m from a Perrigrine Falcon perched on the upper deck of my (EX) camp hunting mice, and Ruffed Grouse!, on the lawn. I've sat 5m under a Bald Eagle hunting fish in the river in front of my camp. I've seen ravens in the bog country that were so large you would not believe me. I've had a great horned owl smack me in the back of the head when it was pissed off at me for being there. I've had a wee tiny owl sink his talons into my hand when I tried to rescue him from a tangle. I've had Moose Birds (Grey Jays) help me hunt... yes, HELP me hunt, just like a bird dog, although my hunting days are over now.

And, I could go on, but, you get the pic. Gushing, yes... none compare to the awesome hummer.
