manaylor Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Why is this an emergency? Many birds die in severe weather.

wednesday1 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 while in traffic I watched a two black birds eating berries from a bush only yesterday and it was -5 outside at the time. I watched a kingfisher at Forge dam peck through 12" of ice to pounce on an unsuspecting trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ sheffield Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Because it is freezing - ground solid, no worms or insects, berries solid.. In the severe winter of 1963 apparently 80% of wrens were wiped out. Yeah that nature is a terrible thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I watched a kingfisher at Forge dam peck through 12" of ice to pounce on an unsuspecting trout. So you watched a kingfisher peck through a foot of ice, double the height of the bird, in order to feed I've told you a million times, stop exaggerating.

The trout was worth it though as it was about 2tf long. See it through to the spring probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
