Wildlife flourishes around the cottage. We maintain feeders for birds. Wild turkeys visit to nibble off what falls from the feeders. Deer arrive usually at dusk or early morning, and we provide food and feeders for them. Large turtles make their way upslope from the lake, slowly returning to the water hours later. Occasionally, you may see a snake sunning itself, but most stay within the thick woods close to the lake. Raptors and black or turkey vultures soar over the slopes. Song birds call and sing from early morning to early evening. Field mice scurry around old tree stumps and rocky outcrops, along with squirrels, bunnies, chipmunks, and insects. This is their home.
