"rutting parents"? Wow, that must be interesting to see! ;)

Stig, I just returned from a 3 week cruise on the Danube, Main and Rhine. Great trip.

I saw my first Goshawks in years and a bunch of Bustards (SP?). The latter are weird birds. Big as our Red-tailed Hawks, but they were just sitting in a field, watching the ground. It had been recently plowed and dragged. Do not know what they were looking for: Voles or mice?

All the ducks, mostly Mallards, know what the river boats mean: food!, and as soon as we slowed down or docked, there they are, begging! They like raisin/oatmeal cookies.....

Yes birds are interesting. Never seen a European Great Bustard, but plenty of related species in Africa. It eats everything it can swallow, both vegetables and insects, mice and so on. Probably not snakes though...

There are more Mallards around us humans than wild in nature (or so it seems).
The very duck which all of us see. It is interesting to see the rutting male and how look-a-like he becomes the female, but you can tell by his beak and also his/her sound. :)

Redtailed Hawks were plentyful in Yellowstone this summer and we learned the difference between male, female and juveniles. Sometimes very tricky if you ask me...

Cheers
Stig

Come! Come! Gentlemen

If we're not discussing aviation, let's talk gentlemanly - how do you find the cricket?

Since I am a gentle man, I simply refuse to discuss such a topic.
I would be banned immediately...:D

All

Anyone interested can get my WNr list of the Do 24 (for what it may be worth :o )
Send me a private message and your e-mail address and I will forward it to you. Hopefully you have comments with regard to WNr and STKZ

Note, it is a very simple listing with no units or fates except for the Dutch ones.

Cheers
