Young Buck

This little guy came up pretty close to my front door yesterday. He was eating some of the old rose hips on the bushes along the entry walk. I’ve been seeing him alone lately, so I wonder if he lost his mother.

Mr. Wolfie

He’s back! I haven’t seen our local wolf since last fall, but just as I was passing by the picture window I saw the dirty dozen (the deer that live on the property) running off towards the back. I looked out the window thinking something just have either spooked them or was chasing them, and sure enough, there he was, Mr’ Wolfie. He gave up on the deer, stood out in the apples trees for a couple minutes, then walked off into the pines. When there isn’t snow on the ground, I keep a trail cam back in a small open area next to the pines, and that’s where I see him most.
We believe he is a coywolf, a cross breed of wolf and coyote.

Here is a video of Mr. Wolfie from last summer.

New Phone

Yes, I have a new cellphone, a Samsung Note 8, and it’s Sweet! With the new phone, I can now have a proper UP number with a 906 area code. I’ve had a Note 4 for quite some time now through work, it’s a great phone, but it was time for a new one, and thanks to some circumstances, that I wont go into, I have this new Note 8. The 8 is quite a bit different from the 4, but so far all in a good way. I need to get a good case for it, but I have one picked out so next week maybe. Thank you, I love it.

Barred Owl

Just had a new visitor stop by, a Barred Owl. He/she landed in the closest apple tree right by my bird feeders. I had to keep making lots of noise so he would look in my direction.
Funny, all the deer heard my voice and came running. Also, the Chickadees didn’t seem to mind there was an owl in one of their trees.
