Another shot of the strange deer with the distinctive eyebrows, captured by my daughter, early in March.

Critter of the Day: ‘morning, George

Another photo of some strange deer my daughter got for me, early in March.

It’s like they’re greeting each other while changing shifts. :-D

The incoming deer has some very distinctive eyebrows. I think it is one that we saw about this time last year, too! I should go back over my old photos and see.

Critter of the Day: redpoll calling

Redpoll on a lilac branch, taken in early March.

He looks like he’s taking a chomp out of that branch. :-D

Critter of the Day: stranger blep

Another one of the photos of some strange deer my daughter caught, earlier this month. This is the deer with the antler nubbins she saw.

My daughter knows me well – she knew I would love it if she got a tongue blep for me! :-D

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: hello, my little chickadee!

One nice thing about no leaves on the lilacs this time of year; we can see the birds in them, better. :-)

Things are quite a bit warmer, as I post this photo; the chickadees look so much smaller, now that they don’t have to puff themselves up like this! :-)

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.
