Do Work!

We speant over three hours clearing trees and brush with a chain-saw and some muscle. We plan on seeding this in the spring with a food plot mix for the deer to eat. Lyndsey got to play with a new "ping-ping" gun, a .22 caliber rifle that is modeled after the venerable AK-47!

Winter in Athens

Such a pretty piece of land in winter! Our pond has officially frozen, but the creeks are still flowing. Our newest resident is a Northern Flicker (a type of woodpecker - he's hanging off the side of the feeder). After we filled the feeders, the birds swarmed them! At one point we 12 male Northern Cardinals, 7 female Norther Cardinals, four Blue Jays, a handful of Black-capped Chickadees and White-breasted Nuthatches, a Red-bellied Woodpecker, and the Northern Flicker. What a sight!
