Bear time of year

Yesterday when I said "not much happening," I wasn't complaining. Got up this morning to bear damage. One Chinkapin Oak tree had two of it's 3 major limbs broken off, and the seed feeder pole was flattened.

My plan is to concrete a 3" pole instead of this 2" one.

Saw a nice Tropical Leafwing today.

This next photo is of Aoudad taken between Alpine and Marathon by Adam Brandt. Aoudad are a big problem here. They out-compete our native species, and really destroy vegetation.

Here's the oak tree after I got the broken limbs pruned off.
