Nature is telling us spring is right around the corner. The bulbs are pushing up, the woodpeckers are hard at work, and other critters are coming out of their winter homes. It's normal for us to see deer going through our yard usually 6-12 at a time. We have also noticed lots of geese making their way back north. In the morning you can hear them in the house even with the windows closed. I took the girls for walk down by the river on Monday and we saw at least 40 geese there.
Then that night when Michael pulled into our drive way he saw a red fox in our yard. I was excited to hear that! Hopefully I'll be able to see him soon. When Michael was telling me about the fox while I made dinner he looked out the window to show me where the fox was and right then we saw a coyote walking through our front yard with a deer leg! He was only 4 ft from our front door as he cut through our yard and then went down in the ravine behind our house. This evening Michael and one our of neighbors are going to go down in the ravine to see if they can find the den. Hopefully we can trap the coyote(s) before some pet or child gets hurt.
So spring is just around the bend here in SW Michigan and we can't wait for it!
