Where do birds go in really bad storms?

Oct 09, 2010 by cliftonphotographer | Posted in Zoology

I just can't picture birds landing in trees and sleeping in nests during really bad wind storms or hurricanes. So where do they go? Do they just fly away out of the storm or what? Just a random thought that maybe has a real answer.

Some will fly out of the storms path if there is time, but most will just find a thickly vegetated tree or scrub, rock crevice, or the eaves of a house, etc. and sit out the storm. IF it is during breeding season, they sit on their nests to protect their

Ronan sculptor's creations larger than life, based on real life as cattleman

18.05.12

RONAN, Mont. — This may be a strange way to start a story about a Mission Valley sculptor who happens to be 90 years old, but did you know if you put a calf in the bed of a pickup and drive off, its momma will just stand there?

However, if you can somehow safely hang the little thing outside the bed of the truck where she can see it, and slowly pull away, the mother will follow.

You need to know this to understand how Don Grazier — a cattleman who never gave a thought to doing anything artistic until the age of 65 — came to turn steel into life-size Brahma bulls, bighorn rams and saber-toothed cats, and larger-than-life geese, cranes, blue herons and humming birds .

"What got me started was I had this ranch down by Garrison," Grazier says. "A neighbor's cows got in with mine, and I got this diarrhea in my calves. It can be deadly, and you've got to doctor 'em up."

You want to bring the momma in with the baby to do the doctoring, Grazier explains, and his had a ways to travel — "Had to cross a bridge, railroad tracks plus a highway," he says — so he came up with this idea.
