12/9/06 Observations

Clear and cold..but not quite as cold as the night before (9 F)

- Mourning Doves
- The Nuthatches
- Several Crows winging overhead just at sunup....
- Several Goldfinches arrived at first light...I wonder where they spent the night?
- Attached photo is an example of what a rutting buck does to a tree...several of the limbs of this White Pine were torn off, the ground torn up, and there were many other buck rubs nearby....this was about a mile from my cabin...beside the road!
