Spring Just Around The Corner

A walk this morning at a northeast gate, gave away my first sighting of a black coyote. While walking the road, the coyote crossed in front of me about thirty yards. No chance for a pic, it was just nice to see it. The surrounding woods were busy with birds.

A VERY light dusting of snow gave away the tracks of a fox on my hike to the reservoir. Although the reservoir was still pretty much covered with ice ,you could see the shoreline starting to open up.
On my ride home ,I did see two deer feeding on a southern exposed ridge . They appeared to be in good shape.

I had a chance to tag along with my son yesterday on a bear tagging attempt. Things didn't work out to plan. Maybe another time.
