Hey, look who has come back to visit our bird feeder! Yep, it’s the local white-tailed deer. This time, it was just one of the does and her two nearly-grown twin daughters, and they stopped by for a nom between 6:30 and 7am. (I wonder if we’ll have any new fawns this year. I haven’t seen the buck in a while.) Steffan took over getting Ash ready for school, so I could try to get some photos. Thankfully, the deer left before Ash was ready to come down, or he’d have been too distracted to get through breakfast!
This feeder is very effective against squirrels. Deer, on the other hand...
Yes, yes I AM watching you steal the birdseed.
The mommy doe tests out our musical nose-scratcher.
The sisters continue to spend as much time kissing stray seeds off of each other, as eating.
Hello to you too, pretty girl.
They are looking a bit rough, in spots. Granted, they lost their winter coats early, this year, because of the dysfunctional weather. Usually they leave drifts of shed fur all over the park, around mid-April.
They are just about done with breakfast. Mmm hmm...you're welcome.
The twin sisters are almost always side-by-side.
The doe's tail is wider at the tip, than the tails of her daughters are.
Oh. THAT fence.

I’m hoping that the early loss of their winter coats isn’t why I saw seven deer last time, but only three this time.
we can hope
