I grew sunflower commercially for a few years. Had some fabulous dove shoots after harvest. One year I decided to try to grow two crops in one year. Planted and harvested the early crop successfully, then replanted them. They came off about early November, just as the redwing blackbirds were migrating south. They found them and devastated them. The numbers can be staggering.

As that flock hovered over us, all I could think was, “Please don’t s**t on my Parker!”

I often think of what those flocks of passenger pigeons must have looked like. A common sight at one time, now…
