I saw something rare today for us here in the woods

A bluebird. I saw it the other day too and that was only the third time I have seen any back here. They are birds of open fields. It was a thrill to see. I also saw a Scarlet Tanninger today too. I also saw a fox trotting through a few minutes ago. A crow was out there raising cane and I saw the fox trotting through. I love it here.

I went out for a scooter ride today and found two caches. I came in on the scooter yesterday and saw a dang deer, the same one that I am watching as I type, IN my flower bed! He ain't a suppose to do that! Don't he know that?

I decided to upgrade my fence charger. I think mine had died so I went out and bought a new one today. My old one was good for 10 miles of wire and the new one is good for 25 miles. The old one put out 2000 volts and the new one puts out 8200 volts for the first two miles. I have about 500 ft of wire so those deer are gonna pay attention

four baby coon and mama came visiting. Probably the one that my cat wanted to wup It looked like one of the babies was trying to hump one of the others but I am not sure. I got it on video so I will post something tomorrow.

What the hell is next? A T Rex??

We get a blue bird once in awhile by the house. They are beautiful. I see them more often down in the pastures here. We had bluebirds house up way back when. I was helping my kids with a bluebird house project at there school so we made a bunch of them up. Had them all around the fields here but the mice and chipmunks took them over.... Still some out there on the tree's but seldom see a blue bird in them... Here is one of them I saw on my back porch...

Early spring, we will get groose beak buntings. They are beautiful, but they only stop them and seldom see them again. Never was quick enough to get a picture of one.... Down at the bottom of the hill in the pastures they a whole bunch of different birds the we never see here, like the Killdeer, and starlings........

I like the red fox. Used to see them here alot but with the coyotes, they seemed to have pushed them out...

realize about putting birdhouses out for bluebirds is that they have to go up in pairs. There is some bird, I forget what it is, that will drive a bluebird out of its house. The funny thing that was found is that what ever the dang bird was, will not allow another of its kind to nest near it so it you have two houses this bird will take one and allow the bluebird to nest in the other.

Up here in Michigan you will see miles of Bluebird houses along I-75 and they are always in pairs and that is the reason.

As long as they stay in the fields, and away from the gardens, they will be fine.

You are indeed fortunate to live where you do

got carried away with the table saw at the time and made a bunch of them in kit form for all the school kids. Some got lazy and didn't
want to nail them together and some after they turned them in just left them at school, so at the end of the year, she said I might as well take them. So we went on a nailing safari here with them where we were seeing them... A cub scout troop that met at the school took the rest of the kit ones. I think I had as much fun at the elementary school with the kids as they did. Went on a lot of class trips, hikes, projects with all kinds of stuff, the school got a free Lego program with all the building blocks for all kinds of projects with motors etc to build so I got evolved in that project. I headed to see them jump up middle school as there they cut the parent out of the herd.
