Well, things around the pond have livened up considerably. Now that we’re well into March, temps notwithstanding, the official beginning of Spring is not far away. This seems to have gotten the critters attention, as several have emerged from their respective critter holes and dropped by for a visit. During the past four days, we’ve been favored by groups of 3, then 2 wood ducks. The little Beau Brummels of avian persuasion–and our favorites. Two sets of Canada geese (pretty but dirty). And a skunk, someone new this year. Actually they are a beautiful animal. but as most know, they possess a deadly hose. We suspect that we may have a new crop of grubs in the yard–a skunk’s ambrosia. Some robins have arrived. Some frigid temps are on the way, so they’ll no doubt think that they started summer vacations a little bit early. A big Tom Turkey showed up today. No doubt cruising for a date. Spring, when a young turkey’s heart turns to–well, you know. But this guy looked pretty old, so wild oats are more likely on his menu than in his date book. And, of course, one has to admire the temerity of the small birds who brave the predator filled airways that lead them to their summer homes. But predators have to eat too. Mother Nature has no favorites.
