This picture is the first depicted in the enclosed collage (upper left hand corner) as a proxy for an activity that involves the whole family, neighbors, and natural community in contact with our small property. Many members in the natural community have not been seen yet but we know they are there. We have evidence of one moose walking through the property and we see tracks very close in the snow from time to time. This activity requires sensitivity and consideration to the natural community in the areas of what type and how much feed we should be providing. We would not want to be providing elements in a diet that would alter the digestive chemistry or make the participants overly dependent, should our supply be interrupted for some reason. For that reason we have only provided bird and squirrel food at this time. Another consideration I have learned is that if one wishes to keep peace in the family we needed a protocol agreement between family members as to when certain other members should be let out side. One wrong move could result the lessening of the natural population and resulting in family disharmony, something to be avoided when possible.

This particular window (upper left picture) happens to be in the den that is shared from time to time by me and my wife who loves to bird watch, wolf watch (validated by the neighbors) etc., etc. Anytime during the year one's view might be drawn to the window to witness something really interesting. The upper right picture is of our subject looking out the back window with the squirrel feeder on the tree just barely visible through the window blinds. One misstate I made here in placing this box is that it is too low. One night I caught one of the large white tail does with her feet up on the tree and her nose buried in the top of the box with the flap open. So the take home message here is to place the box at least six feet above the ground. I doubt if a moose could get her snout in this box. Maybe someday I might be recommending that one places the box ten feet up the tree. I really wanted to ad two more pictures to this post but the program is just not cooperating and/or I have not figured out how to arrange photos yet. So until this situation changes and I can manage the time to research the problem, this will have to do.
