Bird's Nest in Antlers


Right under the main door of the lodge on the outside but protected by the porch are antlers. These antlers are well weathered and worn and look as if they have been hanging there since the 1920's when the lodge was finished.
Every spring a new birds nest appears in the antlers. We never see the bird or chicks but even with all the times the door opens and closes during the day it must be a secure place to build a nest because have a new one every year.
A note on the weather: We continue to have a nice amount or rain. Enough to ensure that we can still have campfires in the BWCA but not enough to ruin any canoe trips!
