Enjoying our visitors

I’ve just uploaded a new batch of photos from the camera in the living room, and have a few I’ll be sharing over the next few days.

Including these guys.

2018-11.1deer

Deer have started to show up every day, now, sometimes several times a day.  There’s just three of them that come regularly; a buck that always comes alone, and a pair that come together, if not always at the same time.  One looks like a buck that’s already lost his antlers for the winter.  He sometimes comes alone, or ahead of the other, larger, doe.

Their winter fur is coming in, and their colour is starting to get greyer.

From the tracks I’m able to see as I do my rounds, they are in and out quite a bit, throughout the day! :-)

The Re-Farmer

The grosbeaks are back

I had started to see the pine grosbeaks in some of our crab apple and ornamental apple trees.  Once I picked up the the new birdseed, we’ve started to see them at the feeder.  Especially this lovely couple.

She looks a bit perplexed.

She was also much harder to get pictures of!  The male, on the other hand, was more co-operative.
