The deer have yet to discover the feed we’ve started leaving out for them.

Other critters, on the other hand, are appreciating it.

So far, we’ve seen some Blue Jays, my daughter spotted a Grey Jay, and of course there have been plenty of chickadees and squirrels.

Here are some photos my husband got through the living room window this morning, with our old Nikon D80.

Blue Jays are one of the few birds we see more often in the winter.

Red Squirrels are pretty much the only type of squirrel we get here.  About an hour’s drive away, my sister gets both these little squirrels and the huge grey squirrels in her yard.

Wildlife visits are one of the positive trade offs with this move!
