[OKDXA] VU7 and 7Q

[Jerry Chouinard]

A midwest view of VU7 and 7Q?

I put out a couple of containers of bird seed ( DX ) on my deck a couple of 
days ago.
Soon, along came a pile of animals.
Cardinals, little Finches of some sort, Blue Jays and a squirrel or two.
The crowd got larger after the first few seeds were consumed.
Soon, lot's of black birds.  Then more squirrels.  A real ruckus ensued.

Not enough bandwidth - squirrels seemed to be in charge - they were hogging 
the containers containing the DX.  Once in a while one would just sit, 
others mades sounds like 'UP" "UP" or maybe "SPLIT" "SPLIT".  Thought I 
heard "LID" "LID" a time or two.  Couldn't see the DX anymore just the 
containers and the crowd around the containers.

After several minutes - nothing remained but hulls!

The crowd started to clear - all but a few midwest hambirds (odd feathered 
guys).  They had been getting stomped on by the other animals.  Never saw 
those midwest hambirds clearly until the crowd cleared.  Once in a while I 
thought I saw a midwest hambird grab a seed.

Fairly easy to recognize those midwestern hambirds - they're the skinny 
persistent ones!
