"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.....
