More Rutting Activity


 

Speaking of the rut after the morning walk this was discovered in the south corner of our front yard.

This basswood tree had been planted about fifteen years ago as a tiny potted 'stick' of a tree.  And over the last decade and a half it has grown into a handsome and straight native hardwood of about 3+ inches in diameter near its base.

Overnight Mr. Buck decided to pay a nocturnal visit and tear-up the bark on the south-facing side of the trunk to mark his territory and establish dominance.

Grrrrr.......
