Flocks of skeet used to blacken the skies for hours as they flew over.

Last time I was at Whitefish point on Lake Superior they had signs asking us to stay on the marked trails to avoid disturbing the ground nesting Northern Skeet.

Lets not get too sentimental about the long lost flocks of skeet. Its very possible that they could be extremely hazardous to aircraft.
One of the lesser known theories suggests that skeet roosting in the mooring tower may have been the actual cause of the Hindenburg disaster.

I hear the skeet’s close cousin the snipe is also a problem at Camp David. The Prez needs to be taken on a snipe hunt.
To: SgtBob
Fuchia is the color of the northern skeet’s summer plumage but in the fall they turn white with dark speckles that hide them in the snowy underbrush.

Mid-to-late October, the Southern Skeet plumage turns to chartreuse ‘til late December, early January...warmer weather, global warming?? Who knows? That being said, I killed a skoot 2 feet away from lighting, last week...legal kill;-)

Yes. I first went snipe hunting my first boy (cub?) scout campout long ago. It was years before I learned there really are birds called snipe and you can hunt them, if you can find them.

To: SJackson
Hitchcocks movie was originally called, The Skeet, and later changed to The Birds, when it was found that the skeet were much too vicious. Early scenes left pre-screen audiences horrified, with many viewers fainting from the gore and carnage the skeet inflicted on actors and film crew. Even the acclaimed director, no stranger to controversy, saw the need to recast the violent skeet with more manageable birds, thus leading to the movie title change.
