12/2/06 Observations

Early AM....Clear, calm and quite cold...mid 20s.

- Finally, two deer walk up the ridgeline 400' to the left of the cabin at dawn..the first ones seen in several days. Still no local evidence of the rut...
- Several Mourning Doves on the ground near the feeders....
- The Nuthatches, two of them, are making their rounds....they are entertaining to watch...and never stay in the same place for very long.
- The raccoons destroyed another suet feeder two nights ago....more thought is required as to how to outfox them...to be continued.
- The Goldfinches, in their winter plumage, are the last to leave the feeders PM and the first to visit AM, often arriving at first light.
- Photographed a deer (doe) as it paused on the edge of a forest...with one of our spec log homes in the background.
