Signs of Spring

 I stuck some daffodils by the target stand some years ago.  I'm not sure why.

But, they seem to show up most years.

 Apparently it was a variety pack.

It's amazing that they are competing with the weeds.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a vernal pool.  It usually holds water all year.  But there are some sort of tadpoles in there - salamanders?

It will be a couple of weeks before peak on the redbuds and dogwoods.  Just getting started.

One pear tree has a few blooms.

 Just some moss on one of my walks.

 It was dry enough to run the disk thru a couple of fields this weekend.  This will be the pumpkin patch.

 Poop of the week in the clover.

Saturday was so warm and I thought I saw a fish hitting on top-water.  I gave it a few casts before giving up.

 This gadget showed up in one of those targeted ads in my Facebook feed.  I did something that I rarely do - I clicked on it.  Snakelook Website  Anyway, it's a gadget to hold your cellphone camera steady on your spotting scope or binoculars.

Here it is set up.  It took me quite a bit of fidgeting and fussing.  But I got it.  There's a doe standing out there to the right of the box stand.

See - and I can zoom it full screen too.  Spotting scope only on 20x - can go up to 60x.

On my walk the next moving, I saw something moving down there by the bend in the driveway.  So I put the gadget on my 10x binoculars.

Kitty cat.

 Sunday sunrise.

 View from main stand on Saturday evening.

Starting early - putting out a little bit of minerals.

 Maybe once a month now but more often in May/June.

 Typical traffic pattern.

 Checking cameras.  I think that I have most on daylight savings time now.  I need to relearn each settings menu.

Me driving the bobcat on trail duty after recovering it last week.

This is the spot where it was stuck.  Not sure how I did it but I had the back against that tree trunk and that stump wedged under the frame in the front.

 There are some turkeys back.  I accidentally flushed one on my walk and they were gobbling away at sunrise.

 Not like some years where they have put on a strutting parade for the cameras.

 I hope that this isn't the reason for the reduced population.

He's been showing up once or twice a week on camera.

 Newest camera location.

 Getting a little traffic.

One buck still hadn't dropped as of 3/24.

 I haven't had much success finding shed antlers this year.

9 in the field.

I think he's a bruiser.

 A parade.

 Antlers starting already?

The usual suspects.

 And the domestics.
