A Large Animal, A Small Animal and a Robin--Signs of Spring

On a walk through the neighborhood, SC spotted this deer eating some tulip leaves. He was obviously not concerned with us though he did see us. He leapt to the left along the house and went over the hill.

These photos show a squirrel in a tree. We watched him and 4 of his closest friends/brothers hop out of the nest in the second photo. They were playing and enjoying the change of seasons.


These three photos show deer tracks (lots of them!) going along the perimeter of the old part of St. Bernard's cemetery. The deer seemed to travel together walking slowly along a tree line to White's Run for a cool drink. SC was able to get two plaster casts of deer tracks here.

These two photos were taken last week as the snow was beginning to melt. They show tracks through the woods around our neighborhood. The animal was following a path through some brush walking slowly.
Here is a photo of out cat tracking a bird.

This photo from SC shows a robin eating holly berries after a snowstorm. Soon robins will nest in the same tree.
