Woodcock on eggs already!!!
We had the britt out to the woods today. 5 points on woodcock including one that she literally put her nose on. It flushed off a nest containing 4 eggs.
We normally bush until turkey season starts, but this concludes our spring bushing for this year.

Thanks for the heads up. Wouldn't expect them this early especially with the snow we just had. Here's for a good early hatch a strong birds for the fall.

Chipmunks came out from their holes to day. The JRT is so happy.

I've heard nest sightings for almost a month now. We haven't been in the woods since before St Patty's

My neighbor has already trapped and transported 11 of them 4 weeks ago during the previous mild spell.
And on another note, my wife and I saw a goose with goslings trailing behind yesterday .

They can always drop them off here. I love chipmunks.

What's your address, the little buggers have destroyed hundreds of dollars of my tulip bulbs over the years by burrowing under and chewing off the bottoms of the bulbs.
I also trap and transfer I km away to the bush up the road [ 4 already], they are cute , but also destructive in the flower gardens.

Very true; I've given up on tulips. Even covered in wire mesh , the squirrels get to the bulbs. Daffodils are untouched.
