Thanks guys. The last time I was out there was Friday but they are there everyday even after food is gone they dig around trying to find leftovers. Have to check soon I,m sure its gone by now.

Do you have the cameras out still? Sorry to be bothering you but I'm just curious as to how they looking right now.
 
related to that bird - how does a crop work or whats its purpose other than for me to cut open and say Hmmmmmmm...look... corn

I've always thought the crop was just the place for the food to be stored before it makes it way into the gizzard to be ground up.

Not sure if that's right?
 
That's correct. From there it heads down to the gizzard to be ground up. This is why birds such as pheasants need grit/gravel in their diet; To aid in digestion.:)

The cams are still out but weather has been so miserable I have not been out there yet .cams should still be running if there is enough room on the card rabbits get 200 pics a night and sparrows and squirrels steal daytime pics 4 gig card hold 1200 pics

Thanks!

How do you suppose that rooster got injured?

If it wasn't a predator grabbing him, I'd guess he hit or ran into the point of something just right. Something with a speared end like a broken branch or even giant ragweed could do something like that.
 
That fox squirrel probably attacked, he's got that look in his eyes.

Seriously though I wouldn't be surprised if that was an injury caused by a shotgun. I've had the dogs run birds down that were just grazed and that's what the wound looked like.
