The birds round here are very busy. I've feeders in the front and back. They are eating and building like crazy. It is great to watch.

Avant-Garde,
The mountains, birds, flowers, and the scent of growing, awakening earth: spring. I see it and it just awes me to silence. Who could feel poor in such an abundance of life?

The biggest thing to watch out for is the snakes. There are some monster rattlers around here, though I've never seen one. I've seen some pretty big copperheads, though.

sense of smell
i have heard my uncle mention a smell while hunting with him. i never thought to.
i have a friend who passed out drinking in a yard, he woke up as a racoon bit him. he had to get several shots over a length of time.
gardner, grass and a non threatening water snake is all that i have seen up here. i would like to trek through land in the south.

They are a type of pit-viper, fish-eating snake. They are very prevalent in the south, and flash the white inner lining of their mouths when provoked.
I read in a tracking book once to get on your hands and knees and smell the opening. I've seen my dogs do it many times. Raccoons' prints look like little hands. Be careful: those critters can be quite ferocious, and the often carry rabies.

what are cottonmouths?
i have been in the woods lots lately, i saw a group of seven deer last week. there is a hole i have been keeping an eye on, and at the first of april a trail started to form from it. i would rough up the dirt so the next day i could see the tracks, it always is beat down like it is heavily walked. i think a racoon family lives there. a grey fur is on the edges of the hole.

I used to pack up my 35mm camera, don my fatigues, and go to the wildlife area in rural Louisiana. They had gators, coyotes, cottonmouths, turkeys, hawks, ducks- you name it! I would sometimes sit and just wait for something to come out. It was really magical.

to wander unkempt and dirty in the woods is very enjoyable to me. i think i know what you mean by poverty, this is a luxury to me that i thought of while reading this.
