Ruffled my feathers

[Jamieb]

I shot 4 blues today, one young bird and the other 3 were adults. All four of the fans were crappy. I head shot the birds so I know I didn't ruin the fan with shot. I must have seen over 20 birds today, they were sure out in the rainy crap today.

and the tail feathers, the v notch would suggest a young bird

Nice pics J. Cook them up yet?
Post up the pics of the Martins, your dad just ratted you out, lol.
Did you see any good cat sign while you were up there?

i made it out for the first time sunday...weather didn't look that bad, so off into the woods i went.  made it about 300 yards and the sky opened up on me, and of course i had left my rain jacket at home.  hiked a mile or so up an old grade(all uphill) before things got too miserable and i turned around.  only critters i saw were a robin and a big wood frog, lots of deer sign though.

i'll be back out there by this weekend, maybe trying a different road, i'm due.

They werent martins, i wasn sure what they were, but i googled it, looks like they were long tailed weasels. Aggressive little buggers, there pics are under the ruff day post. As far as cat sign, this wasnt here two days ago, but it might be a big yote

My guess is coyote but the nails are not showing.
