Their two most favorite things IME are apples and mulberry leaves. One time the first sign that a groundhog had gotten past the fence was the defoliation of the young ("bird planted") mulberries on the garden side of the fenceline. this one seems very insistent about whatever weeds it's eating in that one garden. we came back from shopping/errands yesterday and it was out there nibbling. i tagged it solidly yesterday with a pellet so now it has been warned several times. i'm hoping that will be the end of it. Last year the drought was so bad that the stunted babies were driven out on their own earlier than normal. One was small enough to push her way through some chain link into the veggie garden. She ate so much edamame greenery that it wasn't able to push her way back out. What's left of her is now a study skin. oops, but probably very funny to see. kinda like the snake trying to go through a small hole after eating a chipmunk. (My daughter the zoology student did a rather thorough disection with measurements but decided not to turn that particular study skin in for credit. All of the study skins and skull she did turn in are now in the university collection--she does good work.) i'm not sure what a study skin is, but it sounds like something done to study anatomy of animals along with taxidermy in some kind of pose? songbird |
