Somewhere around 8 May, '20.
The Shadberry trees are in full bloom. Their white flowers sprinkled thru the leafless forest really stand out like levitating cotton balls.
Made a new rifle range so I can now shoot a full hundred yards without sending a bullet across the trail toward the target. Was annoying having to watch out for vehicles tween shots.......
Sandhills Cranes are back & found the first robin nest of this spring. Been watchin the pair for several days and she's been flying back & forth over Kamp with mud on her beak. Thought she was headed to a large White pine by the trail but yesterday spotted that she's makin it in a large White Oak about 40 feet up and maybe 40 yards frum the kampfire.
Hummingbirds & Orioles have returned as well. Owls keep going at it, too. A few nights back I swear a Great Horned was in The Box with me when it cut loose around 1 am and didn't stfu for about half an hour.
My favorite rakoon had been rootin around for several days in the leaves for grubs, worms & snails but haven't seen it now for 3 days. Its not laying dead on the trail either & hope none of the effin turkey hunters shot it. Maybe its residing in a hollow tree below the hill in the cedar swamp with newborns?
Here's all thats left of the wood I sliced & stacked few weex back. After thats been turned into smoke & ash I'll start on the pile to the left and that should last till end of May which by then outta be warm enough where Jonny Boi will be hangin at Lake Michigan.
