Rare Photo of a Blue-Bodied Truckstucker Nesting at the Mouth of the Mattole

Truck in a tree

[Photo by Laurie Jensen]

Okay, we admit it. This is not a rare bird. This Ford F150 is hoisted on cables into trees near the mouth of the Mattole southwest of Petrolia. Photographer Laurie Jensen says,

Its mind boggling how it got up there, no broken tree branches, no way to drive it in there, trees to close together for that, but there is cable in back of truck and front of truck to suspend it from the trees…Aliens?

Humanity certainly enjoys some unique hobbies. We got to wondering if any of you have ever captured photos of something this odd, particularly something local and weird.

You can see more of Laurie Jensen’s work at the Humboldt Bay Birds Facebook page.

Laugh it up. That there is evidence of an alien abduction. They never saw ol Whatshisname again after that night. I thought I saw him once at Winco, but it was some tweaker.

Just yesterday I was talking about how my friends and I piled in the back of Dr. Dick’s old blue truck to go trick or treatin’ decades ago in Petrolia. Then there it is hanging out on RHBB! I can’t imagine sending my kids off to do that now. Lmao! Funny how memories can just stir up and swirl a fierce little sentimental dust devil around you some times.
