Since Black-tailed Bucks lose their antlers beginning in late December and through the winter, they need to regrow them in the spring. Adrian Adams got a very nice photo showing the new growth.

The antlers are covered in a membrane called velvet. The velvet nourishes the growing bones underneath it. I've read that if you could touch it, you would find it's hot!

Thanks to Adrian for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

It's been a lovely spring day today with temps in the mid sixties.
