After I went to all the trouble to get these on photobucket on my patheticly slow dial up, I realized I had a smudge on my lense :? .
It's gone now, better late than never. :wink:
I was wishing I'd had my camera with me today when I was close to a couple of golden eagles, they are pretty impressive compared to the bald eagles.

I notice all the trees. Do you have to pick up rocks off your pastures? I've visited Manitoba and the ranchers there have to pick up rocks and there are rock piles. I wondered if others in Canada had to do this or if it was just common for that area?

Thank you for posting the pictures.

I think we all got rock piles.On our place it varies to alot of rocks(of lots of different sizes) to places where you cant find a rock if your life depended on it.Some places are worse than others,some places just have small rocks that arent a problem.

We pick rocks off our hayland every spring.Greg and I talked our nephews into helping one year,the two boys and our two could take the quad and the trailer behind,pick rocks then I'd take them to the Lake....my nephews{townies} were so excited,my kids rolled thier ees but didn't say a word..THEY HAD HELP...after a really hot morning{took lunches and walkie talkies} finally about 1.30 I told them to come to the house to get ready to go. Those excited nephews were now plumb beat and first word the youngest one said...THERES NO WAY EVER AGAIN AM I ROCK PICKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It took years but we got our rocks scattered out of the piles and put in their natural places .........retains moisture better that way! :wink: :lol:

When I was a kid, Pappa always told me that the rocks moved back to their home, after dark...under the ground.

That's why they always seemed to be back where you just picked them from.

I don't know if trees are related to rocks or not. But we do have the odd field with it's fair share of rocks. Most have none. We have given up on trying to pick all but the biggest rocks, when we seed down hayland we run a big roller over it and it tends to poke the little buggers back to whence they came.
Now our grazing largely runs along the tops of the ridges, and they tend to be quite rocky.
