CHKMINI, my Jeep mats are trashed from being a Jeep. Nathan is really good at finding stories on the net. There was a deer (doe) that was found hanging over telephone lines or electrical lines on the net a week ago or so. I have a neighbor who was outside on her deck with her cat, the cat was sitting on the hot tub (cover) and a brown eagle swooped down and took it with the women seating right there on the deck. Thank you jbewley for your support. I've got pictures of six inches of snow on the day after fathers day this year CHKMINI, anything is possible in Colorado, I'm just saying (believe)! '
(frantically waving a white flag)....I believe...lions and tigers and bears, er I mean...deer and cats and eagles, oh my!:cornut:
Welcome to the believers, you are now part of the flock!!! My wife actually teaches at the CMC college up here in the mountains she took a sample of the egg shells to work, I hope to have an expert tell me, are they chicken (hooligans eggs) or from something from above. I've gotta know. Its just the bird hitting the car last nite after the egging was quite interesting. Thanks for converting to a believer.
It would have taken an incredible leap for this young deer to end up on the power lines above East Missoula. But it is unlikely that the animal had an accident while trying to act like its distant-cousin Rudolph. This fawn took out the power in the Montana town after it was dropped by a bird that bit of more than it could chew. Lee Bridges said that shortly after the power went at around 9am, she spotted a bald eagle sitting in the top of her tree. When a worker from the energy company turned up to investigate the power problems he spotted the fawn dangling from the power line. ‘I ask him the problem,’ she said. ‘He pointed up at the power line and said, "Well you had a deer with wings on it.” ‘I looked up there and there was this fawn, a carcass of a fawn, up in the power line.’ Mrs Bridges suspects that the eagle dropped its prey and could not retrieve it.

Dude! This whole thread is great! But now I'm afraid to leave the house for fear of killer deer, or rabid birds or something! :lol:
I can remember that every year folks from the east would head to CO (summer or winter) and never make it home. Those mountains are just as wild and untamed now as they were when the, before mentioned Donner Party, met their end. They are NOTHING like the Smokes or the Applications. You really have to have your stuff together if you go there to play. :yesnod: Jim
Well.... Some deer like to fly..... some like to play Frogger...... deer hits two cars - Web's Best Videos - Frog Soda
Colorado is wild country, we were on top of trail ridge drive about ten years ago and came very close to getting struck by lighting. We had hiked up to the medallion on top, if you know where that is, my daughter had Sterling silver earrings on and started saying her earrings were shocking her, my wife and I turned to look at her and all 18" of her hair was standing out like a blond afro. Now I am a lowlander but I know that is not a good sign, we scooped her up along with my son and began running down the trail toward the car, we had made it about 25 yards down the trail when lighting struck the area by the medallion. Lesson learned, when I am in Colorado at altitude I pay attention to the sky....
Well said DOCV, I see people at the resort just standing out in the thunder looking at the pretty clouds with lightning cracking around them with know idea, that more people are killed by lightning in Colorado than anywhere else in the world. Update on egg DNA coming tomm. My bets on Eagle or Pelicans. I know its crazy but we get flocks of pelicans flying through in the summer. Or it could be a sign from above eat more eggs, I don't know.
O.K. major news!!!!!! They are not chicken eggs, ha ah. They are more than likely Barn Owl eggs. Probably never hatched and were probably picked up by a group of Ravens or Crows which we have lots of and dropped. So conspiracy experts what do you have to say? No hooligans, just a flock of hooligan birds. The Science guy at the college says more than likely it was a left behind nest that didn't develope because of our extreme late winter, so the birds just left it. Then these other birds saw the eggs and decided it was time for breakfast. The crows around here will eat anything, we live on a golf course and between my house and the fairway there are one or two ground hog holes and we've seen the Crows dive bomb the holes to catch the young so it wouldn't surprise me. So that's the story and I guess were sticking to it. Thanks for the input it was one of the more fun post I've been on in awhile. I will let you know when pigs fly by my house sometime soon.
Thanks for the verdict. I was sure it was birds dropping their fast food breakfast or those pesky flying monkeys. :crazy:
I'll bet it really makes those crows mad when they grab a golf-ball off the course thinking it's an egg....
When the monkeys or pigs show up, I am taking out the video camera for sure. I'm just thankful they weren't Ostrich Eggs!!! Could of taken out the Mini.
