The vultures are still coming,fewer last night.I`m still thinking something dead in the woods was drawing them in,even tho there was no decaying smell.My friend sent me an article by Phil Miller,wildlife biologist,about vultures roosting behaviors.If I knew how to link you to it,I would,I printed out the article for future use.The behaviour of birds fasinate me.As I was reading another article,it seems that these huge birds nest on the ground.I thought I had found their nest in this tree,note how well made it is,far up in the pine,hardly noticable unless you were looking to the sky.In the spring,I had taken a pic of the turkey vulture in this tree,but after searching about this nest,I`ve come to the conclusion it has to be a hawks nest.It is not a squirrels nest,theirs have alot of leaves in it.This other,smaller nest,is in our apple tree.Robins raised little ones here in this nest,spiders are in it now.
I found this buck rub while scouting in the woods.I always thought buck rubs were just on trees,the scraping of antlers on trees,marking them,but the dh informed me they also make a circle like this in the leaves & pee in the middle,then leave a footprint.Learn something new most every day.He is the hunter,yet I`m the one to discover this rub.hah,hah.
