Weekly nature trek
I knew I would see lots of wild critters on my trek to Lakeland last weekend. After being so dry the past several weeks, the much-needed rain we received on Friday was sure to bring out the critters.
Was I disappointed. I think I saw fewer wild animals this trip than any of my previous ones. I did notice a very large wild hog, laying dead on the side of the road with all 4 legs straight in the air. I wondered who hit the hog and how much damage was done to the vehicle.
On my way hope, I noticed the hog had almost been picked clean. The buzzards had done their job well, with only a couple still approaching the carcass to see if there were any scraps.
So this week it was a dead hog, a dead armadillo and a lot of buzzards doing their job.
