Have you ever watched a deer go apple picking?

 

Well now you can.

 

 

We had a lot of visitors this past winter.

These are pictures from back in January because I’m still playing catch up from the vacation posts.

Our buck kept his rack a lot longer than usual.

But it didn’t stop him from apple picking.

 

 

 

Or sticking his tongue out at the photographer.

Cheeky little bugger.

Father and son…

Or daughter, it’s hard to tell at this stage.

If you fill it, they will come.

 

We watch the birds here at Casa River.

Lots and lots of birds.

We also feed the birds.

Which brings all manner of beasts to our backyard to eat what falls on the ground…

On any given day you can see woodchucks, chipmunks, skunks, raccoons, squirrels, and fox.

During the cold winter months, the birds eat me out of house and home.

I fill and fill and fill those feeders but their appetites seem to know no bounds.

But lately….

I’ve noticed the seed levels were dropping at an alarming rate.

In mere hours multiple feeders were stripped clean.

 

 

Ah.

That explains it.
