  • Report from worker - Saw small Deer wounded from aluminum bow & arrow
  • Caretakers note:  Do not leave wounded animals - take a good clean shot to the heart.  Probably a neighbors kid who does not know any better
  • Saw Rock Squirrel filling cheeks with seeds
  • Did not see very many birds. Saw 2 Chickadees and heard a Canyon Wren at bluff.  What happened to them? Predator? Hawk? Raccoons?  Did they migrate?  What about those that stay here year round like Cardinals etc?
