Throughout the winter I've had a chance to look from my upstairs vantage point and watch the woods. More specifically...watch the deer, the birds, the trees and more.
Although this is a suburban town there are a few patches of woods where animals- raccoon, possum, squirrels, chipmunks, foxes and deer live. With the woods bare in the winter the deer were very visible. Now in the full green of spring it's much harder to see them.
One of our autumn activities is to collect (blow and rake) fallen leaves. Over a two or three weekends we do an 80% job of clearing the summer green that is now turned brown. I use a tarp to carry them into the woods. Now this spring the leaves have turned into the perfect sun draped resting ground for the deer. A fallen tree, still with living green sprouts provide really good access for a snack.
