It’s been a year to the day since I started this blog; it hasn’t been every day, or even every week, but I’ve posted 55 times. I’m looking forward to more posts and more rambles!
The Hollow has had lots of young wildlife activity recently. Earlier this week several of us saw a hen turkey with tiny poults. I got this video of them feeding in my driveway; they’re so small that they’re hard to see. One neighbor, Josh Klaaren, got a close-up video from his vehicle. Then there are some that are a bit bigger. I was able to get this video when they passed by the house. If you listen closely, you can hear them peeping.
The fawns are active, too. Sometimes I see them when I walk. The twins and their mom stay in my part of the Hollow, and I see the twins several times daily. Usually they run off as I approach, but I was able to record them yesterday. Video here. Their mom comes very close (look here!), and I’m sure the fawns will come closer soon. They are very curious!
Of course, there are still turtles, mushrooms, flowers and trees to observe, and I’ll post more about them soon.
