Hi there folks!
How icy is it over there these days? Has the ice melted away from the path yet?
All the best,
David Bell

once the ice melts, you are left with a lot of muck - especially around that feeder

Paths aren't nearly as bad for ice as last week but really messy, muddy and literally crappy with too many dog walkers who do not scoop the p**p.  So I don't know what's on my floor mats in the truck right now but they are getting hosed this afternoon.

One other warning, it's March break and with a sunny afternoon, there is a lot of people/kids running around.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

next to no kids there today. i was there from 11-12:30.
only thing there was a really noisy and obnoxious dog owner who let her dogs off leash and sat there, screaming at them.
needless to say, zero screech sightings.

but....
i did see a beautiful deer (about 100 paces north of the feeder). it was 30 ft from the path and didn't care that 3 of us were watching it eat. it even mosied down the path and watched a dog and its owner.  its incredibly cute (except for the scratch/infection under its left eye).



otherwise, the woods was incredibly silent. just your typical spring birds (RWBB, grackles, finches, robins, cardinals, chickadees, smaller woodpeckers) and some hawks circling above.

Nice sighting.  Did the lady have 4 dogs?  If so, I know the one, everyone avoids her, she's whacked.  She sounds like she is scolding them but really isn't.  Just one human who needs to learn to lower her voice BIG TIME.

yep, it was her.
and it wasn't hard to site. at one point, i thought the deer was going to come and sniff us. it was 20-30 ft away.
