Wildlife Gone… Uh, Wild.

Filed Under Uncategorized 

We are currently houndless at our farm. It turns out that when you lose the very loud beasts with intense hunting instincts, the wildlife comes out in droves.

So far this year, I have seen/heard at our farm:

  • 2 Great Horned Owls
  • 1 adult coyote in the field next to our house
  • 1 adolescent coyote in the neighbor’s garden
  • 2 freakishly vocal Red-Tailed Hawks
  • 1 gimpy, sickly fox that died in our barn
  • 1 non-gimpy but still sickly fox that also died in our barn (an unfortunate trend)
  • 1 terrifyingly loud Blue Heron (Have you ever heard one? Look up some audio files and imagine hearing it from out in the dark!)
  • 1 young White-Tailed Deer (kind of big, but still had its spots)

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the wildlife. Especially the little bunny who panics and runs up the driveway in front of the car instead of just dodging out of the way.

I’m just saying, I would just appreciate if some of them were a little quieter and some others of them were more non-terminally ill.
