We live in an area made up of dairy farms, blueberry fields and woodlots along with lots of bodies of water. Because of the farms the early stockings of wild turkeys took place here thirty years ago. Turkeys had been extirpated from Maine long before and the reintroduction was an experiment at the time.
Over the years I have often written about how much snow we get here in Union from any particular storm. Watching the 
traffic that comes to Maine Outdoors to view those pages there is definitely an interest in that information. There are resources available online that I think would be a little more useful than my best guess about the amount of snow we got.
Yesterday was warm and cloudy with light snow in the afternoon. Just enough fell to freshen up the snowpack; that is now about eighteen inches or so in the woods. This morning on our walk the signs of all kinds of wildlife where everywhere. Mice of course, although I cannot imagine why they would come out on top of the snow and make themselves vulnerable to hawks and owls. Fox and coyotes had crossed our path in several places since the snow fell last evening.
