Lunch is sticking around.
Wildlife out our window
Critter of the day: good catch!

Critter of the day: hello, deer!
Baby, it’s cold outside!
While doing the rounds this morning, it was -25C (-13F), with a windchill of -32C! (-25F) out there!
When I went into the sun room to give the cats their food and water, I found this.
I thought, for a moment, that the light bulb might have burnt out, but nope. Continue reading

Makin’ faces
It’s remarkable how quickly the animals respond to the colder temperatures.
These photos were taken near the end of November.
In less than 2 weeks, their fur is already much thicker, making the deer look all fluffy and puffy!

Frozen Food
The smaller of the pair of deer that come by regularly now, trying to eat a frozen apple.
I’ve knocked down as many of the frozen apples as I can reach with the pole I found. From the branches I’ve been finding on the ground, I think they’ve been trying to reach up to them, and pulling twigs down in the process.

Bleh!
We got invaded
I go this photo this evening, of three deer showing up at the feeding station. It was getting a bit too dark for photos (we’re fully dark by 5:30, these days), but I did manage a couple.
None of them are the ones we’ve been seeing for the past while.
Less than 10 minutes after I took this, more showed up. By the time I got back to the window, there was 4 at the feeding station, a 5th one had been chased off, and two more were under the crab apple tree!
So we’ve gone from having 1 or 2 show up at a time, to an entire herd!
Maybe time to start leaving more than just an ice cream bucket full of deer feed. :-D
