Early riser again...

Boy he sure is trying to get me and my dogs up at the crack of dawn! He was very early this a.m., and of course my dogs saw him first. Naturally they barked and he bolted. However, he did return later to eat his breakfast and mark some turf. I couldn't tell whether he was watching me from afar this morning or not as the trees are beginning to bud and blossom, filling the once open spaces in the woods. I still would rather get him to come to me, but doubt that will happen for quite some time. On with plans....
