I get crows, mainly. I believe the State Fish and Wildlife put them here, to get rid of the pigeons attracted by spilling grain in the once rather large railyards. Also, the railroad used to use a heavy paper across boxcar doors as an expedient to grain shipments, now there seem to be enough airflow hoppers to go around. Almost all the pigeons are gone. They also bring in turkey vultures, to cut down on crews having to deal with road kill, and wild turkeys as well. I wish they would put out some quail and grouse, I am kind of on the southern edge of grouse country.

We did not have pheasant before 1890, but they are an introduced population. Hard to see, unless you are driving around on country roads at dawn. The wild turkeys can actually be found in town, right along the MUP at times.

Early or late 80's?
I've a box of rockets bought in 87.
I'd like to make sure they work before I'd buy them!!

Hard to say, Standard didn’t change their designs much.

Cool, overcast and rainy here chez Casa Reynard. I want a refund of on the forecast, they said it was supposed to be dry after 10 am, and be sunny come lunchtime. 
So much for today's planned bike ride.
So I spent the morning continuing Operation Kitchen Cupboard. I reckon my dad must've gone through a phase of buying pepper mills, because aside from the big one I always use, I found another six (assorted) in another cupboard.
I also found four cafetieres and several milk jugs.
I also have a box of ancient jars, cans and packs of seasoning that got shoved to the back. Need to sort those out to see what's going to hit the bin and what warrants further investigation.
Oh, and I have *FINALLY* found my tin of mustard powder. And tin of custard powder.
Anyways, time for lunch. I has a hungry.

Remarkably similar to a lot of humans if you think about it.

It was supposed to rain here from about nine to three, instead it went for about 0600 to midday, meaning I got wet on the way in.
Still, it was an excuse to wear the Akubra...
