and/or porcupines to go for sugar water like this?&lt
I have another observation of a possible sweet tooth. Just down the road 
from us is a field that usually has two horses in it. A couple of weeks 
ago, I noticed that they were eating the bark from a sugar maple just 
inside the fence line. Two trees are now completely girdled (the larger 
is in the order of 2 ft diameter). I wonder what's in the bark that the 
horses need or just like the taste of (sugar, salt?). too bad about the 
trees, of course -- they won't be leafing out next spring.
