Perhaps you could poke sport at his unwillingness to pull over for you by waving a
 in the air the very next time he will not pull over for you?

Looking for that one... but here's our nearby young Red-tailed Hawk feeding off a White-tailed Deer carcass during a cold winter when little rodents were staying well-hidden.

The European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is a very aggressive species that had been introduced to North America almost a hundred years ago.
 Swarm over Sacramento California.  Combing their way through the grass  in search of insects.  Huddle together with puffed up feathers for warmth.

 March - A pair of geese arrive and check out a still frozen stream.  May - Their brood has hatched.  June - Typical coloration is beginning to show in their downy cheeks.  December - Get junior back over here so we can finish up these flight exercises.  Come on gang - They're calling us! It's time to fly south for the winter. You're going to like it there!

You can almost hear the herring gulls (Larus argentatus) squabbling.
 Seagulls - Designer garbage collectors.  May-Gathering nesting material. CAUTION! Watch what you park UNDER. Their droppings are known to cause great damage to a cars finish!  Could you resist tossing something to this little beggar?  I couldn't.....  All in all, There's nothing like a flock of gulls riding the air currents to put ones mind at ease.

Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)
 Surveying a vast pond along the Menominee River. Tidbit: A Herons knees bend in the opposite of a humans and aid in sneaking in upon its prey.  Eying up his next meal. Tidbit: Many birds must focus on an object by looking sideways at it with only one eye.  The plunge.....  After a quick gulp, he shakes himself off and is prepared to move on...

I don't know about you... but I'm having a lot of fun gathering photos and creating mini stories for this thread.......
There's soooo many willing subjects out there. By asking for the scientific names to be included (Which was a very smart thing to do) it's actually got me digging into this link .... Browse for a bird by name and shape, All About Birds, Cornell Lab ofOrnithology It's a great help for I.D.ing them according to their zones, voice and photos....... Soooo Show us some of what you've got..... Now that you know where to go for more info....

That would be good to see what's digging holes and living under the shed! How much does a thing like that cost?
