It seems that putting the feed out in the evening, instead of the morning, has been a good idea. Three deer came by, about half an hour after I put the feed out, when none at all showed up during the day. Which means they had plenty to eat, since the birds didn’t get a chance to eat it all, first! :-D

I think it’s the same trio that showed up last time, but I’d have to compare photos to be sure.

Just look at those little baby antlers! :-D

This one has such a loooong smooth face.
The fur on all of them was looking pretty rough.

This one had gone over to the edge of the trees and started nibbling on the new leaves on the wild roses, but it kept getting distracted. Then its fur got all puffed out as it kept staring in different areas.
The other two starting checking out the distraction, too.
Eventually, the source of their agitation emerged…

It was funny to see Nasty Crime Boy start crouching down in stalking position while staring down the deer!

When the deer showed up, I just started taking as many shots as quickly as I could, hoping I’d get at least a few good ones. I ended up taking over 100 pictures in the short time they were here. I got several of this deer making funny faces like this, with this one being the clearest. The deer was chewing on something that seemed to be giving it a hard time, resulting in photos that look like it’s having a good laugh!

There was the one deer with the long, smooth face. Then there is this one, with the lumpy, bumpy face.
Too cute!
