I have so much nature in my area its sick. Deer from the park walk my yard.

I love nature but sometimes it just gets to be a little much.

If this guy disappears one day, we’ll know who ate him–

When I catch them trying to get into my trash cans I shoot them in the fanny with a pellet gun. It doesn’t penetrate but it does sting so they learn to stay away.
When they get larger that doesn’t even keep them away sometimes. They even attack.
Out comes a live trap and a can of cat food. A 5 mile drive out of town and let them go.

But watch they can carry rabies.

Thanks again! I DID have a live stream today, as you noted. I am no bird watching expert, but I have been regularly live-streaming my bird watching efforts for more than 12 years. Sharing the birds, and anything else of interest, with others in real-time is truly a joy for me.

Looked for a boon
What he found was
a hollow tree trunk

The tree it was said
Let him sleep like the dead
Unafraid
Of his rival

Do you have some sort of live-stream going on tonight?

Checked out your YouTube channel, you have some great stuff!

I’m on the SW Michigan coastline; we have an incredibly number of Deer and Turkey wandering around.

Total tangent, in honor of the upcoming Holiday.
Contrary to WKRP In Cincinnati, turkeys can fly. Industrial franken-turkeys are barely alive, but the wild versions can fly, they roost in trees.

I hope you will all enjoy it as much as I did.
