Sometime in late November, after removing all the meaty bits from the buck's carcass, I hoisted some of the remainder in a tree behind the barn. High enough and away from my always hungry dogs, it helps to sustain some of our our woodsy neighbors through the harsher parts of the winter. The list of pickers who have pretty much finished the task is notable:
White breasted nuthatch
Red breasted nuthatch
Chickadee
Downy woodpecker
Hairy woodpecker
Red bellied woodpecker
Pileated woodpecker
Bluejay
Flying squirrel
Grey squirrel
White footed deer mouse
house cat
At the base of the tree there are tracks in the snow of both fox and weasel , but I have not had the pleasure of an eye witness encounter.
