ugc-media-fdb1f12c-76da-47e0-91a8-58743d83bf46.jpgWhen Grandpa Dennis and I decided to make a duck house for my 4H Project we looked at the price of lumber and decided we could fin other materials to use that would not cost as much so this is how the "The Do Duck Inn" was made. 1. Used a 30" hallowed out Cottonwood log. 2. Grandpa used the chainsaw to clean out the inside to make it bigger I collected the shavings to be used later for the bedding. 3. We made plugs out of another log for the top and bottom of the duck house. We drilled 1/2" holes in the bottom to let moisture out. 4. Found a stump that would work as a roof we drilled and added hooks to attach it to the house so you can remove roof to clean out the duck house. 5. Drilled a hole for an entrance and added screen inside from the bottom of the hole entrance for the ducklings to use to get out of the house. 6. Added a band around the bottom and brackets on the back of the duck house to use for mounting to a tree. Cost $7.00 for materials which included hooks, screen, straps, brackets, nails and screws. $0.00 for the log and stump we found these in the woods. It took us about 4.5 hours to make this my Grandpa said that this was a labor of love so he didn't charge me for his time. Total Cost $7.00 We will find a tree and mount "The Do Duck Inn" up about 12-15' and have many years together to watch and enjoy the ducks.

IMG_0726.jpgI took snowshoes to go down and check my game camera on the 4th of December after a 20+ inch snowfall and found a very interesting sight. The creek had frozen over and as I was looking down stream from the culvert I noticed something on the ice. I could not figure out what exactly I was looking at. First I thought that there might be part of a deer sticking out of the ice, perhaps a hip bone peeled clean by the coyotes and then I thought perhaps it was a deer skull laying on the ice. Next thought was maybe a porcupine or some type of small animal. I got closer on my snowshoes and was surprised to see that it was a snapping turtle. The coyotes had gotten to it and rolled it over. They had a nice meal from the under belly of the thing. Then to my surprise I noticed a second turtle just beyond the first one around a small bend in the creek. I was shocked to see two of them hammered by the coyotes. I am at a loss to understand why they came out of the creek which exposed them to the coyotes in the first place. I want to walk down the creek to see if I can find some more turtles that may have met the same fate. It is a very difficult walk with all the alder brush laying every which way! I thought that you would be interested in seeing the photos.I took snowshoes to go down and check my game camera on the 4th of December after a 20+ inch snowfall and found a very interesting sight.
