10,000 Birds
JANUARY 30, 2013
One wouldn’t tether a rabbit out to get a shot of a fox or a coyote, or is that somehow different? And as Ron Dudley shows, it goes beyond live mice, as he documented a whole chicken being left out by someone to attract raptors. At least a chicken would last awhile as a feeder.

That’s when the state and feds demand that we fill out complicated forms detailing every bird we’ve taken in during the year, supposedly using the North American Ornithological Society’s abbreviation for each species.

They strolled around like fierce chickens, too young to know any better. My photographs are my field notes and I spend most of my time learning behaviour and sitting with certain species. The city’s layout made great and surprising encounters possible as the birds moved from park to park, weaving their way through the streets.

You can see that they forage much like chickens, eating seeds, leaves, and flowers from grasses, shrubs, and trees as well as insects. California Quail , being ground nesting game birds, have many predators which are assumed to be the primary cause of the specie’s mortality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzb-2SrSgi8
