My mother-in-law found this fellow on her carport Friday, so we brought him (or her) home and released it in our meadow. Box Turtles (or Terrapenes as we used to call them) were quite numerous when I was younger, but lately they have become endangered in our area, primarily through loss of habitat and road kills.

Spring turkey season is about to start in North Carolina, but this old gobbler doesn’t have to worry. He lives in a large pen on a neighbor’s farm in Grays Chapel.
Spring means renewal and at the Goat Lady Dairy in Grays Chapel, North Carolina it means new kids. For the folks at the dairy, it means those baby goats have to be fed twice a day. Makes for an interesting time in the nursery.

We were checking our back pasture Sunday before opening it up for the cows, when I ran across this skull of a young buck. He could have died of natural causes, but most likely he was wounded and died later. We have had a problem with poachers for the last couple of years, both in the daytime and at night. I’ve been awakened at 2AM by someone shooting towards my barn from in front of my house. Seems like we don’t really have a lot of hunters in my area, but rather a bunch of people that like to shoot at deer. There is a difference. What a waste.

I don’t often shoot a lot of wild-life and birds, however, a small Titmouse in the buttterfly bush outside of our den window during last weekend’s snow caught my attention. Our cats were interested as well, but no blood was spilled.

My wife often picks up apples in the evenings. She feeds the rejects to the cows, and they certainly appreciate her efforts. In fact they appreciate them so much, they often get a little overly up close in their attempts to get to them.
