Easter has come and gone and still no babies. This is the second year I can remember that I have not been inundated with babies on Easter Weekend. Some areas did not have a good mast crop last year (acorns and nuts) so many squirrels may not have survived the winter and there will be fewer babies this season. They will come. so the vigil continues. The baby raccoons are out-growing their nursery container, so they will move to something larger this weekend. Mr. Pidge is outside with his pals enjoying life.
I gave the first presentation of the season last week in Middlefield to an enthusiastic group of boy scouts.
The fawn enclosure is still waiting for the water to recede enough for me to pick up where I had to leave off last fall and finish before the fawns are born next month. I am still ordering supplies for the season so there is no shortage of things to do. Once babies start coming in, there is little time to do anything else so I am taking advantage of the extra few weeks. Stay tuned…
