Whereiwander… winter generally provides me ample opportunities to slow down and spend time observing the wildlife from our kitchen windows. Just before or after a winter storm there is a lot of activity at the feeders and within the yard. Every bird and mammal that I watch is engrossed in finding food, eating, or preening. Other than sleeping and being wary of predators, sustenance and cleanliness are their daily objectives. It is fun to watch the deer grooming each other. Sometimes the deer will stand head to tail opposite one another, which enables them to spruce up the spots that each cannot reach without help. The wild birds will rest in the nearby trees and preen. The wild turkeys are especially fun to watch.
