50-60 Flying Botulisms were here today,

no more.
We don't have any standing timber so they just dry off on the bank in a closely knit group. When they are in this closely knit group it is the best time to scare them off.
I use semi-automatic weapon fire at their feet. This really gets em dancing because it throws sand and gravel on them which they hate. I try to avoid actually hitting one with lead since they are protected by the act of some group of idiots hidden deep in the bowels of the government.

Every spring they show up, I scare them off and don't see them again until the next spring. That is the good part of the story, I hope it stays that way!
