These birds are really neat. I live in rural Michigan and they’re every where here. - they’re the oldest enduring species of bird on our planet (been around for millions of years) - they make a very unique call - it’s loud and prehistoric and definitely makes me think pterodactyl - they’re often called the ribeye of the sky due to their meat (haven't tried it myself, yet) - they fly in V patterns like geese - they pair up and remain monogamous for their lives I’d love to attend the migration one day and see them all together in one spot. The videos on YouTube are surreal.

  Why is it startling? We're predators and meat is tasty.

    You looked at the photos in the article and thought, "I'm hungry"? I think not, which means you are not a predator - just conditioned to believe in it by modern agriculture.

      You're constructing a strawman. No one suggested that but you.

        Nothing to address the actual argument I see, just deflection.

My favorite wildlife joke: You know that geese fly in V's to reduce air resistance, right? Ever notice that one side of the V is often longer than the other? You know why? (At this point, you will get a pause, followed by a hesitant but very carefully worded explanation about northern hemisphere rotation, rising air, sun glints, or what-have-you.) Nope. It's because geese can't count.
