Wildlife

[parsley]

What wildlife are you observing when you are seeding? (And no cott, I do NOT mean YOUR wildlife. LOL) Pars

[mcfarms]

earthworms and my first nation neighbours ( does that count?)

[dalek]

Deer, wild turkeys, black bears, skunks, woodchucks, coyotes. Hawks, turkey vultures, lots of birds. Saw 7 swans flying together last fall, bald eagle earlier last spring. Haven't seen an elk yet this year but there are tracks around.

[parsley]

Deer so tame you can hit them with a stick, one wild turkey, skunks, coyotes, hawks, crows, magpies, robins, squirrels, chipmunks, gophers, moles, moose, elk, racoon, duck eggs and ducks, swallows, pigeons, from a distance..some big white fat birds?, and the scolding feisty purple martens, a slough pump,and mice.

And a few cutworms.

[parsley]

And frogs. They are incessant. Do you have frog noise?

[Fransisco]

The air conditioner gets turned on far earlier in our house than it needs to be just because the frogs are so noisy we can't stand to keep the windows open at night.

[mcfarms]

Oh I for sure win the strangest bird award for today you should have seen the one that landed in the field as we were starting to seed it ( sending picture to parsley)

[parsley]

Mc,
Thanks for the pic! That's quite the bird! Does it belong to u? Pars

[per]

Dogs, coyotes, robins, red wing black birds, swans, ducks, geese, bees, white tail deer, cows and oil lease operators.

[parsley]

Swans? You have swans? You lucky duck. I'm green with envy. Pars

Only "wild life" I've seen was the neighbor observing
dirt bike tracks through his freshly seeded crop

When you are on your tractors, you may want to tune in:

Have to be good to talk me out of a beef tenderloin, but just in case, shall I freeze the cutworms? Pars
