Big Muddy, I haven't read up on West Nile, but I did see someone somewhere say the same...that there are similarities. On Saturday a buddy of mine who was recovering from it told me came as close to crying as he had in years from the pain and frustration from total lack of strength in his legs...

And it wasn't pretty. Mosquito-borne virus that puts you on your back for 3-4 days. As my dad used to say, first I was afraid I was going to die, then I was afraid I wasn't. The powerful headache and fever were bad enough but the joint pain was almost unbearable. I swear, every bone in my...

He needs a good auditing. :lol:

For not knowing much about cameras, you sure capture some quality images.

I'm suspicious of that Mike character. Not rural enough for me. Just sayin'.

The science is settled. :D

Just so I've got this straight, the average citizen can't harrass the mustangs but the BLM can rope, brand, and sterilize them?

Outstanding photographs!!!!!! I can hardly wait to show these to my employees. That these horses live wild and are not allowed to be pursued by anyone will amaze them. BTW, that second paint colt is a real beauty.....mom too. Thanks for the photos!

Your highlighted statement isn't totally accurate.. In its simplist form, there are two genes for eye color: B = Brown eye b = Blue eye Here are your possible combinations: Person A: BB Brown eyes Person B: Bb Brown eyes with recessive gene for blue eyes Person C: bb Blue eyes The example...

It's been a LONG time since I studied genetics but I do recall that blue eyes result from recessive genes....that's to say, both parents must have the recessive gene in order for a child to be born with blue eyes. Don't know how it all relates to DNA markers and the such discussed in the...

but populations migrated north more than one million years ago,in a period of Earth's history when climate change caused temperatures to plummet. Hmmmm. :???: :???: :???:

Fascinating stuff and I had no idea. BMR hit the nail on the head though with his comments. :lol: If your country out there was populated by Venezuelans, there wouldn't be a wild mustang to be seen....they'd all be roped and working on someone's ranch. These folks are horse crazy down here...

Interesting photos and story! Thanks! Does anyone ever try to capture those animals and make working stock out of them?

He should be reported to the feds for abandoning his country. :D

DD, I didn't realize the bird's range was that far north. That's interesting info, thanks.

I haven't but would love to do so. I like guineas. Like FH said, they're great watchdogs. I bought a neighbor's place a few years back and he had a bunch of guineas. Down to only one now. I need to buy a few more and get 'em kickstarted again.

A guy shows up at the house the other night with 3 eggs from one of these birds. He'd heard I have an incubator and so figured I'd be happy to have the eggs. I wasn't, but what could I do at that point? They're now in the oven. Don't know how long the incubation is but I suspect it's more...

Black-bellied Whistling Duck

Bare-eyed Pigeon, these birds are called White Wings locally and my ranch is named after this bird.

Chacalaca, or what I call a Venezuelan pheasant :D
