<\/p>\nThis post is different from the wild blueberry information you usually find here. \u00a0This one is centered on the wildlife on our farm and a morning visit from a piebald deer this week. Some things are just too good not to share.<\/p>\n
If you have been here, you know the views can be breathtaking, particularly our sunsets. Snow-covered Mt. Katahdin looms large on crisp, clear winter days. The wild blueberry fields turn a brilliant red in the fall, turning a carpet of white, delicate blueberry blossoms in the spring. Every season, and seemingly every day, there is something to remind us of our appreciation for this place. The allure of nature never grows old for us.<\/p>\n
Viewing wildlife has become a passion, possibly an obsession. Our hay field, wild blueberry fields and wooded land offer an abundance of four-legged and winged friends. Enjoying the outdoors, we snowshoe to our game cams which this month alone have captured a bobcat, fox, dozens of deer, coyotes, rabbits, porcupines, and raccoons. All winter long the crab apple tree outside my window attracts turkeys, pine grosbeaks, blue jays, and cedar wax wings. Add the occasional fly by of a bald eagle or my one-time glimpse of a snow owl, and it’s a recipe to make any bird-lover’s brain dance.<\/p>\n
My camera with telephoto lens sits ready for a quick grab-and-go, as I have the privilege of working from my office overlooking acres of open land.<\/p>\n
This week’s unique opportunity took place in the hay field where a lone piebald deer spent time grazing. Seemingly unafraid yet curious, it stayed long enough to allow me the opportunity to capture these photos, feeding this nature-lover’s passion (did I mention obsession?). \u00a0I hope it returns for another visit.<\/p>\n
