The invasion of the birds

Column by Hal Walter

Wildlife – March 1997 – Colorado Central Magazine

If you’re going to feed the birds, you might as well do it in a big way.

There’s a flock of ravens here at my ranch that I’ve been spoiling all winter. It’s actually inadvertent. They come in the morning to pick at the tiny leaves that fall from the alfalfa hay I feed my burros. They drink from the stock tanks, peck at the salt block, squabble lightly amongst themselves and in general have a good old time.
