They all appeared to be juvenile birds.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673724670389027695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-62143740488489547802008-05-15T01:34:00.000-04:002008-05-15T01:34:00.000-04:00What a sad and thought-provoking photo, Bill.

I've never had an upload problem with it.

That image has never left my brain. Now here's another such image of something we find innocuous, or useful, that is of course neither to a bird. Or if Julie is right, some "person" (I use the quotation marks intentionally) who has decided that the bird is neither useful nor innocuous. They are horrible images, and I wish I hadn't seen them, but I am glad that you insist on showing them.littleorangeguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654738679277701610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-36144781818948912192008-05-14T14:48:00.000-04:002008-05-14T14:48:00.000-04:00Getting a wing wrapped around the wire close to th...Getting a wing wrapped around the wire close to the body joint is generally the way birds fall afoul of barbed wire. I'd put in a vote for a person, shooting it and then hanging it up as a primitive "warning" to what is considered a pest species by the unenlightened.Julie Zickefoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-31370598030270966052008-05-14T10:24:00.000-04:002008-05-14T10:24:00.000-04:00Kev: Sorry to hear of your travails.Kat: Will chec...Kev: Sorry to hear of your travails.<BR/>Kat: Will check you out later.<BR/>Jayne:I think it was probably an accident.Bill of the Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16000245161006147448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-58389930075482367182008-05-14T10:06:00.000-04:002008-05-14T10:06:00.000-04:00"another theory holds that males use these impaled..."another theory holds that males use these impaled prey items as a means of impressing the ladies"<BR/><BR/>I used to try this with pot roasts and pork loins in college - but it never seemed to work.<BR/><BR/>Very bizarre scene, Bill.kevbosnafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711397197715948639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-52493593091369002082008-05-14T09:08:00.000-04:002008-05-14T09:08:00.000-04:00Icky/neat photos.
