All three deer together (39 of 1)Can I eat this food too? wm (39 of 1)

I had noticed that the little bird feeder tray was unusually clean in the mornings and thought…raccoons.

Nope. Deer.

One afternoon I was walking across the studio close to the outside door and a mere five feet from me were three deer at the feeder.

I’ve seen these characters passing through quite often, but I had no idea that they’d discovered the little feeding tray. 

I thought the little buck was ADORABLE, look at it sniffing the rose bush.Done wm Little buck and the rose bush 4643_edited-1

But what is this?? NO! NO!

Well darn it. Now I know who ate all of my rose bushes. 😞 Mystery solved, disappointment activated.

 

You’ve got some nerve!

I wonder how the deer feel when spring arrives,the trees unfurl their leaves and suddenly they have fresh, fresh, fresh food?New Mother eats tasty leaves wm

 

This buck worked it’s way into the Phlox and honeysuckle bushes, it later told me it was trying to find the most nutrient dense leaves and complained that mother nature had stocked them “way at the back of the ‘shelves.'”  I don’t know why he was complaining, he was tall and he had a longer neck than I do…if that was my food source, I would starve to death because of my short neck…no way could I reach that high.
