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. ;-)

This visitor seems to be a touch confused about something.

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

Bonus Critter: return visitor

March 19, 2019 / Re-Farmer / 3 Comments

There was a nice little surprise out our living room window this morning. We had a group of 5 deer out there – and one distinctive lady is a return visitor from last winter!

It’s entirely possible other deer that have been visiting us are returns from last winter, but few are distinctive enough to recognize, a year later. This one, with its piebald markings, is one of those few. She was part of a group of 3 deer. The other deer in the photo is part of a group of 2 that are regular visitors.

I hoped the piebald would come back! :-)

Still on the lookout for a deer missing its tail. :-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!

Critter of the Day: deer pair

A last couple of deer photos from January.

I find it interesting, that one of them has fur that’s so much fluffier than the other.

The fluffy one looks like it’s starting to get antler nubbins.

Critter of the Day: silly deer!

I thought I was all caught up with the January photos, but when I uploaded the card from DSLR, I found more! So there will be a few more January Critter of the Days. :-)

First up!

Deer bleps!
