Man, the woods were DEAD this weekend. Nothing. Not even any tracks. What do you do to stay sane this time of year?


As luck would have it I had a bird count to do today, and being how the feral hog is THE most common wild mammal inside the city limits ('cept possibly for squirrels) I took some pics.

Here ya go, I believe a hog or three passed this way recently...

Musta been grubs or something that set 'em off rooting in the pics below. Actually for the life of me I can't figure out how they can make a living this way: Enormous amounts of energy expended over a few roots and such, seems like they'd burn off more energy than they take in doing this.

But, obviously not.

Anyhow, hog rootings, with my 30lb heeler/sheepdog mutt to add a sense of scale...
