Some happy view...
Big snow coming to The Catskills, and has already started... So some
happy view... I see deer every day, all day, often herds. In fact I see all the critters... if there's food for them, you'll see them. Bluebirds nest here every year, but they need a house: http://i59.tinypic.com/50ksxi.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2rcpyr6.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/347k7c2.jpg A black bear ravaged my bird feeder, twice... so no more feeders: http://i59.tinypic.com/ezeglt.jpg Here's the big fella showing off: http://i59.tinypic.com/zlqiwo.jpg Before the black bear wrecked my great bird feeder, twisted my iron crook into a pretzel too: http://i58.tinypic.com/2djubo.jpg King birds are rare for this area: http://i62.tinypic.com/14o2gdg.jpg I really liked this feeder: http://i62.tinypic.com/eq19gp.jpg Woodpeckers liked it too: http://i58.tinypic.com/t8r96u.jpg Seeds fall out: http://i60.tinypic.com/259vpt5.jpg Now I feed birds on a table: http://i62.tinypic.com/20zvj3q.jpg I don't know how anyone can claim they see critter prints in the snow but never see the critters... I see them all, deer are looking at me through my windows every day.. two were just here. I see all the critters, and I have thousands of photos. It's very rare I look out a window and not see critters within five minutes: http://i59.tinypic.com/t5262f.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/20pol1e.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/lim94.jpg I don't think I've ever looked out a window and not seen deer, especially at night... just have to know what to look for, deer can be elusive, they blend in... I know my property intimately, the slightest thing out of place even at a great distance catches my eye, keep watching and it will move and sure enough it's a critter, and when I see one I know there are more.

It's very rare I look out a window and not see critters within five minutes: if you feed them, they will come... we don't particularly feed anything other than what grows here normally. i can usually see rabbits if i get up early enough (like this morning there was one silloutted against the snow). as for other tracks, i can find deer, mice, raccoon, chipmunk, cat and various bird tracks, but won't see the related critters that come through at night. i don't like outdoor lights at night so whatever is out there is welcome to be left in the dark. blue jays are here almost all winter, there is a hedge that holds some berries through the winter that they flutter around in and they seem to like the larger white pines we have too. songbird |

Deer and wild turkeys: http://i57.tinypic.com/2sak07n.jpg Nice pics. I get as many deer but can't hunt them. Your place - probably could. Bear, no, and I would not want them. Black bear are fraidy cats but can cause a lot of damage. My bird feeder did not stand up to squirrels and racoons. |
