I was out baling all day and got this story second hand, when I got home, but will relate it as best I can.
My youngest son,12 years old, was out shooting gophers in a small pasture this afternoon. He is the kind of kid that is not easily scared but very easily PO'ed.
He was strolling along,doing his thing, when he was attacked by a pair of birds dive bombing him and squawking. He says that one of them kept circling him(as he tried to draw a bead on it) and the other one flew to the creek(about 1/4 mile away). Suddenly the one that had flown to the creek flew right over top of him and dropped a "catfish" at him(only missed by less than a foot)!!! Talk about one pi$$ed-off kid!!!
We figured out that these birds were common terns and the "catfish" was actually a frog( in between the tadpole and adult stages).
It was pretty funny to hear him tell it while he was still all "offended" by them ^%$$#@&^ birds having the nerve to throw a "catfish" at him!!
Made my day!!!
