Tracks

Well, they're not deer tracks as I think most hunters
would like to see right now. They're simply Mourning
Dove tracks. A foursome were scrounging around the deck at my studio and when I approached them a whole flock flew up right in front of me. I don't think I've ever seen that many Mourning Doves together at once. But all I caught on film were the tracks they left behind.

Everyone is gearing up for the start of hunting season on Saturday and with the cold temps and light snow conditions are looking good. The DNR said that this is not a typical year in that there aren't as many around this year. So it may prove to be a bit more challenging.
Good luck and be safe out there.

Pelican Volunteer Fire Dept.

I recently added a new informative Link to the list. It's the site for the Pelican Volunteer Fire Dept. In some cases they may be more informative than the local paper! They have photos of all the incidents they go to as well as information about what makes up the Volunteer Fire Dept. The key word here is volunteer....all these folks give their time to attend to the needs of our township. If you would like to show your appreciation they have a fund drive every year to purchase the equipment they use, which in turn benefits our community. Give the site a visit and learn how you can help out.
