Our tulips disappeared some time in the last few days. There are remnants left.
But a moose clearly found them tasty. I watched once from inside the house as a moose, two feet away on the other side of the glass snacked on one flower after another.
I didn't see it happen this time, just the remnants. There weren't any flowers yet.
In this case it even pulled the whole plant out, bulb and all. I guess the bulb isn't as tasty as the greens.
There is evidence in the yard that moose were here, though this pile is among half a dozen that the melting snow revealed and isn't from the tulip tasting party.
Ah, Big Wild Life!
ReplyDeleteIt was sad/funny for me when today a columnist wrote of someone caught as 'a rabbit in the headlights'. Don't have deer here, really -- long ago hunted out.
Things I miss.
I think you should name the first calf you see Tulip.
ReplyDeleteAnd, boy, is your site running slowly.
Probably the same grumpy self-serving beast that chased me on that bike ride back in 2008.
