What do three buzzards on top of a house roof mean?
During late December 2009, I had a flock of Turkey Vultures begin appearing on my roof from around 9am - 12 pm. At first I thought it was sort of cool until I saw they were pulling up the metal where both sides of my roof meant. I called the State Wild Life Service and the U.S. Wild Life Service. They told me bluntly there was nothing they could do. These buzzards were bold. They would open there 6-6 1/2 foot wings when I slapped the door or clapped furiously. Imagine 25 6-7 pound Turkey Vultures landing on my roof at one time. Through research on Google, I learned that they landed to spread their wings and they also would urinate on their legs to help cook them and kill the bacteria on their feet. The urine is very damaging to asphalt shingles. I got some excellent pictures of them. Turkey Vultures also fly with Black Buzzard which are smaller but have a better sense of smell. When they (both species) spread their wings, they are drying them to kill the bacteria as well as drying them from the dew or rain making it more effective for them to ride the thermals looking for carrion. It should also be noted that the Turkey Vultures and Black Buzzards are New World Buzzard and not raptors. I took a very expensive ballistic laser and got range and angle coordinates. The closest perch for the look out was 65 yards. I began shooting 12 gauge 3 inch magnum loads which sprinkled the look out buzzard with shot. He would fly away unscathed and those on the roof would. They wood reappear several days later. I was getting really frustrated and the clatter they were making on the roof did not help. I finally read several forums I found on Google, They all said Buzzards were very social and absolutely hated the smell and sight of a dead buzzard. Well I waited until one happened to fly and land on top of my garage. I eased just the shotgun barrel through the back door and placed the gun sights on his head and pulled the trigger, My shotgun roared and the bird dropped like a stone on the ground. After that day the buzzards left not only my house but my neighborhood. It was a last resort but it works. If you do this with a fire arm, please refrain from using a rifle. The bullet will go right through the buzzard and keep going possibly injuring someone. Please do not remove the buzzard...his smell needs to really get into the ground. Remember it is against Federal Law to kill a buzzard. Please do so as a last resort. Good Luck.

Does the angle of the roof of a house affect the amount of rain that you can collect in rain barrels?
Providing the roof covers the same surface area in plan view (looking down from above it, i.e. the ground area covered), then the rain landing on it will be the same. In other words, a high pitched roof would have to be bigger to cover the same plan view surface area as a low pitched roof. For a given area covered by a roof, the pitch of the roof won't matter. If the pitch is so steep that the rain flows off it so fast that your gutters can't cope, then you will lose the rain and fail to collect it. What you need to maximise is the ground area covered by roof. This will maximise the rain you can collect.
What are the poetic devices ysed in a dream by William Blake?
In William Blake's poem "A Dream," the poetic devices used include alliteration, imagery, metaphor, and symbolism. Alliteration can be seen in phrases like "roof of sorrows," while metaphor is utilized in descriptions like "cage of bone."
