#119 For The Year

We've got some deer corn to bait the feral hogs on the property. The weevils have decided they like it a lot, so I'm putting quite a bit of it out to keep the weevils from spreading. While walking down to the spot where I put the corn, a Least Flycatcher was singing from an exposed branch. He would sing for just a few seconds and then fly. We got to watch him show off his flycatching skills a couple of times.

In other wildlife news, there are thousands of tiny tadpoles lining the edge of the pond. I wish I knew what kind of frogs they are going to become. With the Little Blue Heron and Spotted Sandpiper that hang out down there, many of them will probably become lunch as they get a little bigger.
