Mild Winter attracting Deer

With the warm weather lately, our mild winter is getting alot of  hikers thinking this could be an early start for the 2010 Hiking season…. 

The warm weather attracted some visitors to our area that have not been seen in awhile – deer.. They look like about year old….  Other visitors include a number of flocks of Common Golden eyes birds…a few rabbits, foxes, hawks, eagles and coyotes…

It seems everything has come to life…hummingbirds are back, buds are out on trees and leaves are starting to grow. Moose are out eating,  loons are back, the birds are singing.. what an incredible time of the year for a photographer. It also means mowing lawns, putting out our solar lights, getting decks & flowerbeds ready. And of course hiking on the trails again…yes!!!!
