At one time there was a pair in my neighborhood. Whenever I started my lawnmower, the male would come and sit on the electric line coming to the house from the alley. As the mower caused bugs to flee, he would fly down and snatch them.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
