Something I’ve noticed since the days have started to get – and stay – warmer; the birds are a lot more chill. Instead of the flurry of activity as they grab seeds and fly away, they’ve been more likely to just sit there, all relaxed, taking it easy
My daughter saw a strange group of deer coming into the feeding area and got some shots for me. Including this deer with larger antler nubs than the little guy that normally visits with his mum. :-)
Though this deer seemed to be staring the camera down, in reality, if I move too fast behind the tripod, they tend to dash off immediately. So not really bold. Just pretending!
This is the second group of three deer that started to visit us regularly in February.
Sometimes, both groups would show up at once, but usually, one group would arrive and the other would soon follow, as if they were hanging out somewhere in the maple grove, waiting for the first group to leave.
Another deer photo from our bitterly cold February.
This was taken on a day when it was warm enough to snow, covering the feed I had put out in the morning. A bit of snow isn’t about to stop a hungry deer!
