A Buck at rest, as photographed by Richard Dong.

A big Buck visited the property of Richard and Barbara Dong. Richard wrote, “We spotted this Buck in our yard enjoying a meal. He decided to take a nap after his breakfast.”

It’s interesting to see that the Buck still has his antlers. It’s about time for Bucks to shed their antlers, which they do every year in January or early February. The Dongs might be lucky to find an antler or a pair of antlers left behind by this sleepy Buck.

Thanks to Richard for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Looks like we have a string of clear weather days. With warmer temps, the mushrooms will be popping! The first candy caps are up.
