Anway, a bird watcher sent me very good close up pics of grouse he took in a
parking lot in southern Indiana. The bird attacked the car. He also
mentioned:
>....... He fluffed his ruff (sounds strange) a
>couple of times. I may have some shots of him doing
>so in the next roll.
> Question for you:
> Have you ever heard of anyone doing a study on
>birds being attracted to motor vehicles? This grouse
>was very interested in the exhaust of both my car and
>especially the louder diesel pickup.
> I mentioned this to a friend of min in Connecticut
>who said it was strange because he had had a Tom Turkey
>strut around his van just last week while he was in a
>park out there. He said the turkey definitely seemed
>interested in the exhaust.
> Coincidence?
Also, has anyone ever heard of March being referred to as the "Mad Month" in
