i was building a fire at 4 am....
yesterday morning a racoon was
eating under the bird feeders...
and the deer are grazing under the
full-moon-light around 1:00 am
til 3 am ...out on the back 40.
....but today the cows
arrived...

well the cow-birds...
they are jet-black with brown heads.
they dont make a nest ...they just
lay their one egg in other bird's nests.
it's another welcome sign of the arrival of spring.
next its the grackles ,then the spring peepers.
