Nah, those would have been stopped at the gates of ACC back in the '80s as quick as James Brown's illegal Ethiopian lawyer was.

They only allowed 'Mercan (is that term still banned here?) Canada Geese on the course when I was there.

Oops, thought I was responding to tangofox008--probably too much of an inside joke to be funny to anyone else

On the subject of inside jokes, the local news recently reported that a Ph.D. economist at the university on Walton Way was predicting that the Augusta economy would pick up in April. I don't have a Ph.D., but I will go on record with my prediction that the pick-up starts in earnest on April 5th and lasts through the 12th, with a significant downturn after that.

Good one. My dad is a Wake Forest Alum and was there with Arnold Palmer, so we hosted the WFU Alum party after the Par 3/Wed practice rounds a couple of times. Good times, good memories. I'm lucky if I get back for Sunday last few years. Too bad the Gin Mill is gone and Ray Floyd mellowed and quit hanging out at the Discotheque Lounge

Goose Whisperer says that it's the ice & snow thing. Suggested that young birds get imprinted for a shorter migration and will only move farther south if the ice covers the water and snow covers fields where they would graze. Overcoming imprinting requires an even more compelling impetus.

Imprinting. Is that what we does when we plants red top millet on the levees of the ponds we alternately don't hunt?

We're on the outer limits of my knowledge. But I believe imprinting is a form of memory that relates to innate behavior. Most animals have certain behavioral pre-dispositions. Some of those pre-dispositions are related to or triggered by maturation. Like the suckling motion of mouths of baby mammals. In the case of migratory birds, navigation is imprinted in early adulthood. IIRC.

I know what it is il doktor

Bad attempt at humor. The Delta rednecks all hang out at the coop talking about buyin' sacs of corn, so's they can imprint a hole. Its all legil if you don't hunt over the corn, and the dang ducks come back lookin fer it next year and you bust their ase.

Imprintin.

I was in full-throttle pontification-mode and you yanked the dang rug!

I'm scouting for some guinea fowl pullets. Know anybody in my area or Winnfield area who raises them?

Damn rum. The firs time I read that, I thought you had written "pellets" and was about to advise you to try the Parish coop next door to the train depot down town.

What the hell.....never mind. I think my SiL raises them on her new fancy fake farm if you want me to check. I've got one of her pygmy goats that ran amock in my freezer

I would also venture that I've seen them at about every other house on that road that runs from Abbeville to Kaplan.

It's easy to raise the little bastards. Catching them to sell is a whole 'nuther story. My in-laws want some. From what I read (online), if you don't raise them from pullets, just say goodbye when you let them out. One person says to keep adults (guinea fowl, ... hell, it might work for newlyweds, too) penned for 6-8 weeks. So I figure I'll buy a half-doz straight run pullets and carry them north to my in-laws.

I do know that guineas taste great and are fine bug-catchers in a garden. Unlike chickens (which peck fruit) guineas eat seeds & bugs.

I hear they make excellent watch fowl too....they make a hellofa racket if a stranger approaches the homestead.

US Airways violated Federal migratory bird regulations by hunting geese with an A320 Airbus jetliner, claim anonymous government sources. The pilot of flight 1549, Air Force veteran and avid hunter Chesley B. Sullenberger, tried combining both of his interests by bagging a brace of geese over the wetlands near New York's LaGuardia airport after takeoff, on his way to Charlotte, North Carolina.

The imported $77 million A320 airliner is not certified for either waterfowl or upland bird hunting, so it was not surprising that the aircraft malfunctioned, forcing Captain Sullenberger to ditch the plane in the Hudson River.

The crew and 150 passengers were chilled and shaken but unhurt. Most were simply grateful to avoid spending the weekend in Charlotte.

National Transportation Safety Board inspectors, rushed to the scene, reportedly found no Duck Stamps on the downed aircraft's fuselage. Captain Sullenberger has not been charged but is being held incommunicado at an undisclosed location. PETA is urging the government to prosecute the pilot for double honkercide and poaching, and the animal rights group is expected to file a civil suit on behalf of the flock.

The two victims were undocumented aliens, according to sources close to the investigation, Canada geese who had over-stayed their visas. Their goose gang scandalized their quiet Queens community by squatting in local cemeteries and golf courses, parking on the grass, cooking strange-smelling food and throwing wild parties late into the night. Neighbors say police dogs were called out on several occasions. Such incidents have triggered a wave of anti-Canada goose sentiment, but at this time revenge or hate crime motives are not suspected in the US Airways bird bashings.

Forensic examination of the avian corpses continues, and technicians are analyzing the two cadavers under heat with chestnuts, prunes, and Armagnac. NTSB inspectors have contributed a supply of testing fluid, a 2005 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling from Alsace.

We will update this story as entrees details become available.

Note:The aircraft took off from La Guardia Airport before hitting the birds. La Guardia is operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The Port Authority's logo is a bird.
