Could be more work.,

HEN ITS FREE...

Sign says "free wood and pallets" at a place where they make pallets,  

Never look a gift horse in the mouth....so I took 4 home with me. 

HEAVY these are not those little light weight things they are made of hard oak.  

So I  wrangled them home and in my work area...and started to take them apart, it took me an hour to take one apart,  Man.  So I plan to build some 3 or 4 ft square fences to go around my fruit trees to keep the deer off them  Hopefully they will keep them at bay a little bit better.  BUT it's not going to be easy...I will need several more pallets but first I will build one to see how it goes.  I can put wire on the top to make it higher so they can't reach the tips of the branches,  If I don't do something they will destroy the trees, I have to protect them till they get big enough that the deer are not interested. 

My back is aching a little for my trouble,..it was a nice day to do physical work, it was warm and the sun came out in the afternoon.  Also finished running the mower over the yard to vacuum up the remainder of the winter leaves.  The daffodils are  up about 3 inches out of the ground, I hope to get some bloom. 

The little deer with the deformed foot is in the yard almost every night and sometimes in the morning too. I feel so bad for her but she manages very well I saw her jump the fence when Annie barked at her and she did it easily.  Im sure she went through agony for a while tho.  She is small and she is well nourished but when she  comes into estrous and if she gets pregnant it will harder on her to carry that extra weight. 

I was watching a you tube it's so funny cause I thought this dude was a cool guy he is a friend of another youtuber I watch so eventually this friend started his own channel.  So I subscribed, and then I found out he is into hunting.  So his story is he used to be a vegan, due to the horrid industry of animal farming....and that's exactly why Im vegan. It's about ethics.  But then a Doctor told him he needed to eat Protein, so he decided if he hunts his own meat it will be ok....Im sorry but I just can't give one dime of my Youtube views to a hunter...and the animal will still be dead, their spirit taken away. no matter if you're in it for a trophy or for the meat.   
Its not up to US, deer are not humans, our laws, our way of life does not apply to them. 

So I unsubscribed.  and won't watch; it will not stop his channel from growing, but I won't be putting my money where my mouth is not. 

Make Hay

HILST the sun shines...

 Is an old saying, so I am not making hay but I want to get in some birding while the sun is out its very hard to ID birds when the sky is dull and no light is on them...So Off I went today back to Lee County and to check the Eagle Nest I've been watching for about 3 years now.  They have at least one chick, last year they had one, and the year before that they had 2 successfully fledge from the nest.  

This is the area I call the Beaver Pond, there was an active beaver there but the US Dept of AG killed him.  I have no power to stop them when I wrote to Trumps Sec of Ag, he said that is the Dept of Wildlife who does that..NO it is not..the notices put up close to the dams  are posted by the USDA.  The pond was high enough due to all the rain we had, but if we hit a dry spell that wetland will drain...the beaver was doing his job creating open space by drowning trees...People are so STUPID...and govt people seem to be the stupidest.

I spent the entire day out until it just got really too cold to enjoy being out...and then home to fed the girls get the heat going and make myself a veggie burger sandwich. 

There is a deer in my pasture who has a malformed or more like an injury that healed all wrong on a hind leg.  The ankle  seems to have been broken, and it healed in a strange way,  it did heal but she has some trouble walking....Poor thing I hope she hangs out in my field cause she is safe there I will get some corn to put in there and put some water and a salt lick she actually goes into the old barn stall it has no roof, I pulled the roof off when it went bad and  did not put  a roof back, undecided as to what I want to do about that I no longer need a big barn I have no horses, a lean to 3 sided shelter is all I need but I have this, the cement walls that are still strong...so I would  have the old one torn down and removed.  A lot of work I thought of asking if anyone wants the blocks they can tear it down and take the blocks...BUT I doubt anyone will want the blocks they're old. 

The South African strain of the Covid has been found in my state, 2 people had it.  They both recovered and they say the vaccine will handle this strain.  The thing seems to be mutating pretty fast.  I am staying away from people as much as possible, when birding I rarely see anyone, let alone speak to someone. 
Soon the trial of Trump will start in the senate Lindsey Graham has assembled a legal team...you can be sure they are the most crooked lawyers money can buy...BOY Trump must have something really big on Graham...some people suggest he is gay and trying to keep in the closet, I would much rather people know Im gay than know Im an jackass and a liar. 

Anyways that's just some of the "gossip" I heard...And now there are all sorts of angry white people riling up the "right wing" who seem hell bent on being mentally disturbed and I hope they find an outlet for their disgusting hatred...One woman Rep Greene from GA, threatens others in the Congress...and they want her out..  I hope they can get her out...she is insane said one of the GA voters when asked. 

Not my words Im just passing it along....

Tomorrow More birding maybe.,,I wanted to check the waste water treatment ponds in Lee county and I ran out of time so that may be next. 
This morning before I got out of bed I turned on the tv to see the weather but Bugs Bunnhy cartoons were on so I watched that instead just like being a kid again...

Thhhhhhhhat's all Folks.

SO Friday is over.
