Birds

I have seen this so often in Missouri, I just figured it was a big birds nest, but I was wrong. Have you seen the big ball of leaves and sticks in your Missouri trees and wondered what's going on? It's not bird's nest that you're looking at.

I will say from the beginning that I don't accept the current explanation. There are multiple that nearly 1,000 birds died in just 1 night after colliding with a building in Illinois. To call this a mystery is an understatement.

This reminds me of the nursery rhyme about the man who swallowed the spider to catch a fly. In this case, it's the reportedly true story of invasive tropical birds that have been spotted in Illinois and it's all because of bad snails.

I've dealt with these vicious birds off and on throughout my life and I'm not even a farmer. What has been declared as the most dangerous bird in Missouri truly is a cold-blooded killer.

It's not weird to see birds in your Illinois backyard obviously. It would be unusual to NOT see birds. But, it's certainly not common to see an Albino robin and that's exactly what happened recently as a video share proves.

There are very few places you'll see more types of birds in Missouri than Wakonda State Park, but do you know the exact number? According to data shared by local birding societies, there are currently 225 different species that have been identified inside the park.

If you're a bird, there's no more fierce name you can be given than "Devil Bird". The rare bird with this evil nickname is almost never seen as far north as Missouri, but there are indications it has now and it's a lethal fisherman.

If you lived a million years, you still might not live long enough to see two rare birds that were just spotted in Missouri that are almost never seen in the Show Me State.

I've had people tell me that this story is impossible, yet I have proof and an eyewitness that it really happened. It's the strange but true story of a Missouri dog that went for quite a ride thanks to a very large owl.

If you need peace in your mind, let me offer you this. It's the quintessential nature being nature. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's a tranquil scene of 70,000 snow geese taking flight from a Missouri lake.
