1) They are Canada Geese, not “Canadian” Geese. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_goose
2) We have 3 Canada goose hunting seasons here in Delaware. Federal Migratory Bird stamp required. You sure about Ohio?
3) Snow Geese season lasts 3 months, with no daily limit.

Edit: I checked your Dept. of Natural Resources and there are also 3 Canada Geese hunting seasons in Ohio. Not sure where you got your information. http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/hunting-...and-bag-limits

Everything I have heard over the years is that they are off limits... Maybe what I'm thinking is that you can't disturb their nests... need to get a permit to take the eggs....

Guess I need to look up when open season is... and see if my township will let me try and shoot them out of the sky instead of clay pigeons!

A little different take on feeding birds...these are from our outing to a petting zoo today. The +1 and I, nephew and family. We had lots of fun with all the animals. See my other pics in the Weekend thread.

That looks like fun! Our small zoo just got a sloth. I guess I'll need to take a trip to the zoo soon.

Our family had parakeets most of the time when I grew up. Early in my first marriage we got a baby parakeet and had him till he died, at least ten years later. (wife #1 got him in the divorce). Sam was trained to fly to us with a finger snap. He also had a vocabulary of 95 words. He was lots of fun, but also had a mean streak, biting my lip for no reason at all.

If you want a talker, you have to get a male. The first picture, the male is the one in the middle. Also very young have stripes extending to their beak, which recedes as they age. (kinda like my hair) No young ones in the pictures.

An eastern towhee made a stop by here for a while today!

Nice seeing something that isn't a cardinal, mourning dove, bluejay, sparrow, robin, chickadee, downy, wren, junco, etc.....



Sorry for the picture quality... don't have a camera and lens like Lainey!

He's lovely. I've not seen one before.
We had a hawk drop in on Monday but he left before I could tell which type he was, but he was big and hungry.

That's cool, Mike. I've never had one of those at my feeders.
