Just before Valentines Day we got some rain. The deer and turkeys have been quite active. The neighbors have seen as many as twenty deer at a time. We have not seen more than twelve to fourteen deer at a time. The deer seem healthy in spite of the pressure. However they are eating plants that they have not touched in the past. They ate the chamaecyparis tree in our front yard. The deer are also going to neighbors houses that they haven’t bothered in the past.

The turkeys have been busy as well. Here are their tracks in the yard.

The turkeys are feeling spring in the air and are starting to display. There are also determining the pecking order.
