Living in Manhattan, it is so evident with bald eagles, peregrines and kestrels all over, and now ... coyotes! We've had a few turkeys as well. One known as Zelda is supposedly still living in Battery Park. I've been down to look for her, but not yet seen her. Again, thanks for the info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-35038849637413479522010-03-22T11:40:44.119-04:002010-03-22T11:40:44.119-04:00What a fantastic post !!

First congrats on spotting them in your ...Hi Chris,<br />First congrats on spotting them in your yard and to be able to see them, and then thank you for you message and history about the species. It was quite interesting to read this.<br />Still, one sentence happened to surprise me, this one: "But I am grateful to hunters and sportsmen. Many of the places I go and experiences I enjoy in the out-of-doors are possible because of the fees, licenses, and taxes they have paid, and the attention they have given to conservation, habitat, and environmental health"<br />Well, I would say that if this is the case, you are kind of lucky... I'm afraid most of the hunters in my native country do not behave like that. Well let's say for those I met when I was younger and some years ago. it may have change now, but I had seen hunters around a lake, killing everything until nothing was flying anymore. They were even shooting each other some time! I hope this has changed in our country now but I'm not sure.<br />Here, on the contrary, Icelanders have realized quite soon enough that they depend highly on their resources, both terrestrial and marine resources. They are really trying to be reasonable in everything which is good!<br />To finish, I enjoyed reading this post a lot.

You don't see something like that in the city!<br /><br />Your right, I don't ever remember seeing one when I was a kid.A New England Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345194920944256200noreply@blogger.com
