Deer Munching in Our Yard




Well, hello!




It snowed a couple of days ago, and after it had stopped, about a dozen deer turned up in our yard. 









Isn't the black edging on her ears lovely?





They were probably just passing through and smelled the block we'd set out a few days earlier. The squirrels had put a dent in it, but there was still plenty left for hungry deer. 





They could hear my camera and kept a wary eye on me, but they weren't alarmed enough to pass up the treat. 
































This buck still had his horns.




This fellow had dropped his already . . . 




on both sides. 




And this guy . . . 




looked a little peeved and uncomfortable.




That had to be a nuisance! It kept him from nibbling at the block, although I think he was able to feed on some bushes along the fence line. A couple hours later, we walked the property line to see if his loose horn had fallen off when he hopped the fence. No such luck.
