Old Hanover Rd
A small flock of 5-6 Purple Finches have been visiting the yard off & on for
the past three weeks. I'm assuming they're the same group. First time we've
ever had PUFI in Jan-Feb.
A bow hunter friend of ours who hunts in this area told a story of his
experience in a deer blind a few weeks ago.
A herd of 5 doe he was watching in the field suddenly broke ranks and spread
in all direction. Close behind the females a large male appeared. The buck,
head held high on alert, took a few tentative steps out of the woods, then
quickly retreated back into the bushes. Our friend was puzzled but remained
motionless when, just a moment later, a coyote hurried through the clearing.
Turkeys beware!
