Our backyard fawns are growing up.

.

.

It’s such fun to see the young spotted babies make their way into adulthood.

.

.

We get used to seeing them.

.

.

They get used to seeing us.

.

.

Until the neighbor’s dog starts barking and they all flee to the safety of the woods.

🩷

.

In the middle of a snow storm?

.

.

Deer, looking for the food we don’t put out in inclement weather because if it gets wet? It’s ruined.

.

.

Didn’t stop the herd from lining up in position to search.

.

.

Even the buck looked up at us through the windows as if to say, what gives?

.

.

Sorry guys.

Come back tomorrow…

.

.

We have a herd every night.

.

.

And they’re always a joy to watch.

.

.

The clunk that makes them scatter in this video was a male cardinal slamming into the glass on our kitchen porch.

.

.

Thankfully he was just dazed and flew off shortly after.

.

The harem master.

.

.

Dusted with snow during a storm.

.

.

Sadly the little plum tree we planted two years ago is tasty.

.

.

And loses a lot of lower branches in the winter.
