Refreshed Hummingbird feeders
Found dead Raccoon in Man-made pond, we suspect that it was the sick one we saw last week stumbling with distemper. The sick animals eyes glow green instead of yellow in LED light. It could have gotten caught in the thick pond plants and did not have the strenghth to get out.
Saw Turkeys throughout the day, 2 Toms and 6 hens
New Raccoon feeding routine to keep area very clean and dog food pans spread apart.
Saw Hummingbird
Removed Salvinia molesta (an invasive non-native plant) from the man-made pond and from the house pond. We will remove all invasive pond plants in one year.
Removed Ligustrum, Chinaberry (both invasive foreign species) and a few Box Elders along river trail.
Saw Hawk chasing White-winged Dove at feeding area near house.
