Some more photos my daughter got of the deer that came to visit.
These were taken at maximum zoom. I’m really impressed with how her photos came out!
Love that swoopy snout.
Now, there’s a handsome boy! :-D

A Good Day – and critters!
Before I go into today’s events, I wanted to share this photo from a few days back.
I had been watching the birds at the feeder and noticed some much bigger birds under the apple tree. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many robins, all together (there were several more that I was unable to get in a photo) . I also didn’t know robins like to eat crab apples!
Between the birds and the deer, any fallen apples get cleaned up, real quick! Continue reading

I see you see me!
I wonder just how much the birds can see into the house at times – what with them smacking into the window so often.
Other times, it’s quite obvious they can see us, watching them!

Snow bird
The birds were quite undeterred by the snow we had recently.
Even when a lilac branch ended up on the platform feeder, they just used it to perch on. :-D

Well, hello there!
As the snow fell, it accumulated on the hanging feeder – but just on one side! Which meant we got to see more of them on this side.
I’m not entirely sure what bird this is. It was among the juncos, and there seemed to be just the one.

Snow Apples
These little ornamental apples just don’t seem to drop!
The birds and deer don’t seem interested in them, either.

Just for a moment
I got a serious of photos while the birds were flitting on and off the feeder, including several of a couple of nuthatches. This one came and went quickly, so it wasn’t until I uploaded it to the computer that I found myself wondering.
Is this really a nuthatch? In all the other photos, the nuthatches are completely white around the eye, but this one is different. It was there for just a moment, and it looks just like any other nuthatch, except for how the black is on its head.
Now I’m curious.

Whatcha doin’ in there?
This jay seemed curious about what I was doing behind the camera.
He kept tilting his head back and forth as I took photos, looking at me, like he was trying to figure me out. :-D

Thanks for the seeds
This blue jay seems to be enjoying his snack. :-)
I think they have made the connection between us humans and food magically appearing on the feeder. They used to fly off when we came near to top it up, and not come back for hours. Now they come back right away.

Big Tree ‘shroom!
While taking my walk around the yard, I noticed a new tree mushroom by the collapsing log shed in the yard.
Unlike the others I’ve found, this one was quite low down, so this photo was me holding my phone under it and hoping for the best!
I’m happy with how it turned out.
It amazes me just how fast these things can grow! One day, there’s nothing but tree trunk. A few days later, there’s a huge mushroom.
I have no idea what kind they are. Something to research in the future, I think. :-)
