It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature

Aside from the cattle egrets that follow my tractor around when I bush-hog (mow) there is one that hangs around the pond when I "weed" with my pellet gun. It almost seems to be attracted to the noise. It stays either well to the left or right of my line of fire (I don't change suddenly, I work one patch of weeds before going on to another). I haven't the foggiest why it comes, maybe the sound of the pellets makes the grasshoppers easier to catch or something, I really don't know, but the egret shows up so often I have to think it isn't just a coincidence. The sound of a pellet gun is like the sound a grasshopper makes when it jumps, I would think. Must be something like that. The durn things are almost impossible to hit with a shotgun.... and don't ask me how I would know that.
