I don't know what kind of birds they are, but this time of year we get hundreds no, thousands of these small black birds that fly over town in large groups. Always considered them as just pests, noisy and messy.
Well, I found a use for them. When hunting upland game, quail & dove especially, I have a hard time concentrating on just one bird when it's in a crowd.
The other night sitting out on the deck my son and I started playing a game. When a flock of a couple hundred of the stupid things start flying over, pick out one and keep your eye on it until it's out of sight. Not sure if this exercise will work, guess I'll find out when the season opens!
