A Hummingbird Builds Her Nest

Offspring #2 and I were hanging around the campsite and we notice a female humming bird coming back to a young oak tree and fluttering around the same spot. We see she is collecting spider webs and spider silk. She is probably building a cozy nest for the baby hummingbirds. A few minutes later we see a young buck with 6 inch antlers coming out of his head most straight up. He looked like a Martian. He saw us and bounded closer. He checked us out for 3 minutes. The little dude was curious. I explained that we had a hound dog here who hadn't spotted the buck yet but things would get very loud very fast. The buck blinked at me a few times and then bounded away. Today has been a busy day here at Schoolcraft State Park. A large white truck came. A man replaced the plastic tops to the dumpster with metal tops so the bear can't get in again. Another man came with a 4 wheeler and a chainsaw. He cut up all the trees over the paths so now we can hike without having to go over or around trees. He was an excellent worker. He was fast and he was strong. We watched him throw four feet long logs into the woods. Today it got to 91 degrees here. If it wasn't for the strong current and the leeches, I might just jump in to cool off.
