    I have several Mulberry trees that are in full fruit. The coons are under the one down front and this morning we had a wild turkey down there too. I just got done mowing the front and there was a chipmonk that looked like his cheeks were about to explode. There were about 6 or 8 crows down there earlier and they all took off at the same time. They all swooped out the driveway and made me think of a Steven King movie. Spooky.

    Your wildlife sounds ever so interesting, Capt. :D I'd love to see them all, turkeys, coons, chipmonks, crows and what not.

    Well I've seen crows aplenty here in Scotland but would love to be able to watch racoons, turkeys and chipmonks. Your mulberry trees certainly attract lots of wildlife!! :-D

    Mulberry trees put out so many seeds in their berries, the saying here is, "If you have one Mulberry tree, you have a thousand!"
