Around this time of year I start getting emails and calls about conditions and bird populations, here in NW Kansas. Here are a few pics of failed corn and beans, and worst of all hayed CRP's. Since there is no grass, USDA has allowed haying. Bird pops are OK right now, but none of the above bodes well for next year. If the failed corn is left standing it will provide some feed and cover for the coming winter. If not?

Triple digit temps and wild fires have plagued my neck of the woods for quite a while. We've had a lot of folks lose there homes and barns. Water rationing in some areas too.

Chuck, I don't see any way in the world that a healthy bird population could survive into the fall given the lack of a food source. We've become real pros on the subject here in the Texas Panhandle. Lord help us!

Reports from Southwest Nebraska that is suffering through the same conditions as in North West Kansas are that there are still good numbers of birds due to last years mild winter. The birds are surviving on grass hoppers, other insects and weed seeds and are not affected by lack of food. Main problem is the heat and lack of morning dew on the vegetation plus shrinking supplies of standing water as the intermittent streams have dried up and the ponds are drying up quickly. The next three months will determine if the grasses can come back and provide winter cover for the winter.

I gather that there are not many game birds in the Sahara. But no need to worry - global warming is just a fraud perpetrated by greedy scientists.
