So time ago I was looking for a video of an owl eating any largish mammalian prey item, and found just one vid of an owl eating a juvenile possum. But in that search, I came across this video of a heron eating a live rabbit! This ain't no baby rabbit, and it's kicking all the way down. It's not real gory, but it is a live, struggling rabbit getting swallowed whole by a heron, so be advised. I've never heard of such a thing. I'm still in shock.
... completely off topic but I can't find the Pets And Criitters thread to ask my question. It seems to have disappeared. My question is - how soon might I expect hummingbirds. I'm in Maryland.
This site tracks their migration. There seems to be a few reported sightings in your region already, some in March. -Chance -Princess Anne -Snow Hill -Salisbury Regarding that thread...Search on a "word"--Posted by "Dwight Ward"--that you probably used in that thread to see where one of your comments currently resides, in case threads got merged under a different Topic. edit to add: "Pets & Critters" is a group, not a Thread title.
Gotcha. Thanks for the bird info. I like to put narcotics in their sugar water so they get dopey and can't fly. Then I let my cats chase them down. Just kidding. They are magical creatures.
I put out feeders every once in a while, but certainly not every year. Mine fight over them...territorial little buggers. Regarding that lost thread: "Pets & Critters" is a Group (it's still there), not a Thread title.
