Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4376110, member: 9260"] this business of knowledge that can be gained by observing animal behavior is fascinating. mentioned a few times in the past, the best time to catch a view of bobcats is the immediate time before a deep freeze sets in. regardless of what the tv says aboot a cold spell, if you're out there aforehand, and see them, u know to load up on firewood, cuz it's going to be cold. last licks before snooze patrol for them. this season, no skeeters, no bats, and, no water, so epic amounts of animal attacks on a garden. word up to the astute observer -build them fences right. the beavers, like many other animal groups, come and go, come and go. why did they return last fall, after a few years of absence? did they [I]know [/I] that drought was coming, bringing really bad chow for them as the leaves, and branches, are now crap? have we ever seen soo many leaves on the ground in August? have i ever seen the leaves on fresh cut timber turn to crap in just a day or so? no. right now, the squirrels are working overtime to harvest, and break, the smallish chestnuts. nut mess all over the place. in August. in a heatwave, in a drought, which means this effort will require [I]more [/I]water for them than they usually require at this time of year, when they usually just head for the Cape, lounging by the pool, with a frosty bev in their mitts. what's it mean? i don't know. minimal historic data, an all that. i do know that they are thin, spindly, and weak looking where i live. and, i do know that a lot of fish are really happy that bucky kept the water close to home. [I]a lot.[/I] [/QUOTE]
