What non-game critter makes you smile?

Cool. Thanks for the pics. I see them on the Flint as well just always assumed it was from a different bird.

Thanks, for the pics, Nic.
What do Kingfishers do in parts of the country that don't have the Flint?
We have them up here, but do see any nest holes. Do they also make tree nests?

The sound is nothing like you hear on tv or in video recordings. In real life, when there is nothing between you and the bird but air, that haunting song goes right into your soul.

You have to experience it in real life to understand. "Call of the wild" is a good term to describe it.

Especially early on a foggy morning right at daylight when all is quiet. Makes a chill run up my spine.

That they are, but if you ever see a marsh hawk (harrier) or swallowtail kite in action, then you`ll see true poetry in flight. A bald eagle hovering over a flock of coots is a sight to behold too.

unless you're a coot that is.

Worked in Downtown Atlanta several years ago on the top floor of a high rise building overlooking the downtown connector, it was cool to see Peregrine Falcons completely blow up pigeons. Despite all we as humans do, nature is still there.
