We have plenty of buzzards and white pelicans here locally—but that’s something new—didn’t use to be here. Saw my first pelican in 1984 and my first buzzard in 1988. I was suprized how light a buzzard actually is compared to how big they look.
I used to drive a delivery truck down the North Shore of Lake Superior—f-150 econoline van— headed down Cavers hill a little too fast when the windshield exploded. I thought I had been shot. Pulled over and jumped out shaking off a pound of glass shards—looked over the windshield fully expecting to see a bullet hole. One small partridge feather right at top of windshield and a small dent in body just above that.
