They arent there yet. That I have seen.

I'm just south of all them rice dryers.

i haven't seen any either, but they usually show up a little later.

i've shot many of doves in holmwood off harrington road

There are several large cranes across the street from me but I'm not sure if they are Sandhill or Whooping. They are constantly making that annoying sound. Pretty sure these are whooping cranes though.

if they are grey in color than they're sandhill cranes

Yes gray and gigantic!!! Flew right over me yesterday. Making that weird sound they make. They stay across the street all day.

choot em... j/k i dont want you to go to jail lol.

yep that's them. That's one pretty bird could you imagine mounting one of them things cupped up with feet down?

Look at the size of that sucker!

A freind of mine killed some in texas and he said that when you wing them suckers it sounds like a airplane coming down.

What sound do these make? These cranes and whooping cranes look a lot alike except color. About 80% sure the ones I saw were gray but it was getting dark every time I saw em.

I'm just gonna see if I can find out what sound they make.

Sounds kind of like a pidgeon kooing only louder and longer

lol!!!!! Way better than mine

That's what these sound like.

now i'm not sure what a whooping crane sounds like, but that's what a sandhill sounds like.

yellow bellied warlbler....watch out for these guys too...

I looked it up...these are for sure Sandhill Cranes!!! Them suckers stay right across the street from me....pretty cool.

I saw em last year about 200 yards south of the store/bar there in Holmwood, bout 100 in a field. I think the tally was over 1,300 last year for that whole area.

You guys also have Crested Caracaras hanging in that area, only place I have seen them in Louisiana, a really cool raptor.

Funny you mention that, there was/is a Gray Flycatcher that was spotted at White Lake and it was a pretty big deal, think it is still there if you want to see it and scratch it off you 'life list' of birds you have seen:) Only 2nd record for Louisiana

hate to say it...but that little sumabeech would've eaten a bb from my old daisy back in the day...:redface: :D :smokin:

them crested caracaras are cool as hell to watch. Watched 2 last year in sweetlake snatch 2 snow geese out of a body. Me and my dad watched them from the road for about 2 1/2 hours just flying around then ambush them snows. By far one of the coolest things to watch in person.

This thing be tiny. Cardinals much easier to hit;)

no doubt and my granpa would have ate the sucker

There HAS to be a cajun name for those things. They only started breeding over here recently so maybe the old coonazzes didn't see enough of em to give em one of their famous names

i just call them cool as ****

Man I wanna kill one of those big tundra swans so bad!

them suckers are huge man i would mount one if i killed one.

I hope to see one if these cool as ****s




Do these eat good?

they always got a couple hanging around the old hacketts corner in sweetlake.


i bet them suckers have a strong wild taste

Dove season reopens this saturday and i still got a few days til we are out there. I planned on doing this, prolly be around new years though. Dove season closes on the 2nd of January.

heck yeah i'll be there if i'm invited?

:eek:

i guess that's a no

I was at a loss for words that you would even type that...;)

i was just kidding going invited or not i'll crash that damn party and i'll have Iron Man with me with his quick draw to wreck shop

Man almost 14,000 views on 1 thread that's crazy and still going strong

LOL

Will trade 5 teal for 5 woodies. I'll even throw in a squirrel
