Science of...Hawks
The word “hawk” has come to be a term for a medium-sized bird of prey known as a raptor, not like a velociraptor, but a true bird raptor. Hawks are very common birds that are found all across the state of Nebraska, and truth be told there are many different species, all fulfilling different niches within their habitats. In this Science Of episode, we will be talking about the many different species of hawks in Nebraska, their identification, their foraging habits, and amazing adaptions that make these birds different from other raptors.

Monarch and Regal Fritillary Butterfly Survey Training Refresher
That's awesome! Perfect for my Girl Scout budget!
Sounds real good .. Great trick
Very nice! And it works good! I gave my grunt call to my son now I have to use this but that will be awesome to call in a buck with a paper call. Thank you.
2 am and I can't find my call. Hunting in 3 hrs, it works I made 2. If u make the spade a little smaller it make a doe bleat. This is absolutely amazing they sound great to.
Pretty cool.. 😮
Iv found thousands of terrestrial gartersnakes in box butte county
You are a liar mine is not working
Nice. Im going to make a binch of these and take them out this seasons hunt.
About 40+ years ago I came across a snake crossing a dirt road, dumped my motorcycle in the sand chased it,it was going in a hole,grabbed its tail,heard a hissing sound and it was getting bigger.What was it?
That Prarie rattler kind of looks like one I saw in my yard two days ago out here in Washington county
So far the only issue I have with this video is the lighting is not very good, not able to get a very good view of the snake
That's cool, but paper is not something I'd have out on a hunt. Now I may certainly start packing a piece from now on.
I think the obvious thing would be to make it beforehand and stick it with whatever gear you're using just in case you forgot the grunt call. Tape isn't something most people carry out on a hunt either.
Lol no shit! Something that actually works
So cool sounds like a real grunt tube 🦌🦌🦌🦌
Your vid is good , only thing I can’t see the details of your cord
