Acorns: our arborist was just talking about this. The acorn dearth might reduce squirrel &c. populations (& the ticks), and lure bears out and around more. The effects may be quite visible.

Victims of the lack of acorns? 12 turkeys under feeders now, only one smaller one has a beard, but they have been fighting, pecking, displaying. Two hens have been coming the past 3 days and spending almost all day feeding, I think 2 different birds as they apparently recognize me as a bearer of corn. Not usually here in November!
