Ghosts of the Forest photo

If you are quiet when you walk you are often treated by nature. These are the Ghosts of the forest

I call them Ghosts because you can hardly hear them moving. Just a gentle rustle in the woods and as you look you catch the movement.

I find animals in the forest have a noise level in reverse to their size. When you are walking you hear noise like a mountain lion is coming through the woods. Guess what it is almost always 2 squirrels chasing each other. Or one squirrel rummaging for food.

Then you her4 a gentle rustle and look around and suddenly you see the deer. So much bigger than a squirrel but so much less noisy.

The quietest of them all is the black bear. You do not hear them at all. You see them and go wow . You are in awe of how quiet they are. So the bigger the animal it seems the quieter they are. Except of course, when it comes to us.
