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
It makes for some lovely photo opportunities! :-)
Several of the outside cats just love sitting in the platform bird feeder, and just snoozing in the sun. Rolando Moon is one of these. :-)
While I suspect she is making that face because of the bright sun in her eyes, the reality is, she usually this ticked off look on her face. :-D
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. :-)
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! :-)
I’m finally getting to photos that were taken out our living room window in March!
First up, one of Butterscotch’s pretty little babies, all grown up.
I can’t remember; was this one Rosencrantz? Or Guildenstern?
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!
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.
Sir Blepalot has strong opinions about getting his picture taken!
Mind you, this is another one where he is probably a she. ;-)
