Hi elle,
Goats can be a problem.
We had some and had to get rid of them
Also had sheep.
Want to get a few cows.
We had rain, now need dry!
Need to mow.

THE CRANE THE CRANE! WHOOOOHOOO!

This is probably the rarest site we will ever see in our lifetime here on our bog! The sandhill crane in flight.. my only regret, I wished I had a better camera!

Well, that cuts it, now I got pests in my bog disturbing endangered species....

People dont get it. You post it KEEP OUT, you fence it and they cant read.
People are so rude they think they can go anywhere and do anything int he world that they want and then they get mad at you when you tell them NO and toss them in jail..

I come out to the bog today to shoot pix of flowers and what do I find laying right next to an endangered species that grows here.. a shotgun shell from a poacher. GOD why cant people just STAY OUT.

that is so sad.
We have the same kind of trouble here in NZ with people not staying off farmland or reserves even when the no hunting/shooting signs are clearly posted...
every so often farmers lose stock & even dogs to shooters.

Well, the area of the frog kill has greened up with grass...its beautiful. Next year with rain and as the water table gets back to normal we will have more frogs.

The wild life here has been on the move.

Saw this cute little Sally the other day! She was scampering in the sand!
