It had to happen sooner or later…. Pulled 14 quills out of Dodger and 27 from Gordon. Pliers at camp you ask? Nope, I pull them out with my teeth! This has always proved to be the best method for me. You get a few out at a time this way and don’t need glasses.

A mated pair built their nest in an active gravel pit inside the rock crusher. I got a call, so went down to move the nest in hopes of the parents being okay with a nearby location.
