July 2013 Activity

Week 28:  4 deer (does) one fawn.  Killed rattlesnake by the bird feeder.
Week 29:  More rain (1.5 inches Monday, 1 inches Tuesday).  Good for all, grass, trees, wildlife.
Week 30: No activity in the fields, but bird feeder and bird bath are busy.
Comment:  one can always tell if there is adequate water in the fields for animals as the birdbath water is not consumed each night during periods of adequate rainfall.
Week 31:  House visitors, no activity.

Gate added to the stone wall which separates no cattle zone from the rest of the tract, replacing pallets which will now be used to make refuge for small animals on the cattle side of the tract.
  

Summary:  All is well, water adequate, food adequate.
