Critter of the Day: bigger nubbins!

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. :-)

Critter of the Day: Boldness

Checking out that human in the window!

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!

Critter of the Day: traveling trio

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.

For a while, in February, we started to get regular visits from two groups of three deer. This is one of them.

This picture was taken towards the end of February. One of our visiting deer was already showing the beginnings of new antler growth.

This visitor seems to be a touch confused about something.

Probably wondering what one of our silly cats is doing. :-D

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!

Critter of the Day: You and a piece of me?

This next batch of critter photos are still from February. We had quite a few deer visits, including some new ones.

This was taken on a day when we had 7 deer show up at once. There seemed to be two groups of three, and one loner. A couple were quite aggressive about chasing the others away from the feed. As you can see by this tough guy (actually… it’s probably a gal), and the patch of skin dangling from its chin!
