Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 03:20:36 PMWe have hummers here now a couple days after mother put the feeder up. 
Those tree swallows were like a bunch of bats this morning, chirping and flying around at 4:00 am.

General Board / Re: The weather 2024
Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 03:15:42 PMI make a smudge here every morning lately, does 24 hrs unless a cold rain in the 40's all day. Was 45° here this morning and got to 66° here this afternoon. I've got a little bit of firewood I want to burn up and then stack new wood in the basement. Not a lot of the old stuff left inside. I have 2-1/2 cords dry outside under the porch though.
The ground hasn't been muddy around here for a long time, dry and hard as summer. So not fighting mud. So far just little spirts of rain in the 1/4" range about 4 times this month. Looks like showers for next two days, but nothing to brag about.

Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 03:06:05 PMThey are similar to nighthawks, I've seen all kinds of them. But not often at the house, mostly their migration flight at the end of the season. Saw a flock last year. Out in the woods I here them at night if I'm camping out. But I have flushed them from open patches in spruce plantation. They nest on the ground like a grouse.
One thing I have not seen in 40 years are chimney swifts.

The Outdoor Board / Re: DAM BEAR!
Last post by rusticretreater - Today at 02:33:53 PMI live just outside of a National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains and we get young bears passing through to find their own areas. One popped a plastic trash can like it was a balloon and sometimes bird feeders just disappear. I move around slow outside at night.

Last post by Magicman - Today at 02:18:41 PMA good friend and customer of mine saw a Black Bear this past week and he only lives about 10 miles from me. The Wildlife Bear guy says that the males are roaming and searching for females.
I would love to see one on my property but the odds against that are astronomical.

Last post by Magicman - Today at 02:09:22 PMQuote from: TimW on Today at 01:42:09 PMI am told Native Americans would tie trees back to mark trails.I have heard the same thing about similar trees. If Native Americans did it, they would be very old trees. Native Americans were removed from my area beginning in 1830 and followed the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma.
It is told that my G G Grandad disavowed his Indian heritage and took an English name so was allowed to remain. Pictures of my G Grandmother show her being darker complected.

Don't drool too much. It will ruin your keyboard.
Here is what my Dad called a Saddle Tree, a mature White Oak. I am told Native Americans would tie trees back to mark trails. This tree is right by a gully, so I guess the trail followed the gully.
Bad thing is the graceful bend is starting to rot and the concrete guy, who did my shop floor, added concrete to the rot. When it dies, I will save you an elbow for a bench.
