We got quite a bit of snow and the Whitetail Deer are having a harder time in finding food. This one came right up to my feeder near the deck to feed. I was above it in an upstairs window. Until I made major movement it stayed right there.
Can you see her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth?
She even cleaned up what had spilled.
She went right back on top. She learned quite quickly how to tilt the feeder to get some more seeds.
Is that the dog next door barking?
Oh, wowowowow! This is what I miss by living in the city in the *tropics*!!! Gorgeous. Smart, isn't she?!!!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow! Awesome photos. I hope they finally got enough to eat. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

What great animal to have come visit you FG. Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe shot of where the deer is running and you caught with her hind legs up is amazing! I'd frame it. beautiful photo and great timing!
ReplyDelete...As still as a duck decoy!
Nice shots Tom. Our deer also empty bird feeders I just haven't caught any in the act yet this winter.
ReplyDeleteHow very cool to have deer come up to your feeders. Beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteWow! They sure are giving you the opportunity to get some great shots of them! Outstaning.

This is amazing!! So beautiful in the snow.
ReplyDeleteCool shots of your backyard deer. She is a smart one too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the deer at the feeder.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the deer in your yard. Do you ever put salt licks out for them as some of the people here do?
ReplyDeleteHi Tom, I always feel sorry for critters when it snows and is so cold. It was about 10 degrees this morning here when we got up--and spitting snow...Our birds were flocking to the feeders to get something to eat.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of your deer. She's quite brave--but probably very hungry..
Have a great day.
Betsy
Very interesting moments captured. She is a beautiful deer.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

It is tough times for wildlife when there is snow covering their drinking water or ice. So I am guessing she was happy to find some seeds.
ReplyDeleteTHose deer think they are birds! They are such beautiful creatures. Great pics of them!
ReplyDeleteHow BOLD and determined this deer seems to be. Wonderful photos of something I never see where I live! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,

ReplyDeleteI hope the deer finds enough to eat to survive the winter. We had deer in the woods behind our house in the States. They appreciated when I put my apple peels and the like out for them.
Happy New Years! :-)

We have turkeys that are always grubbing under the feeders. Know these creatures have been doing the seasonal thing for many many seasons, but it doesn't make it any easier to see them "suffer", though that may be my emotion I put on them.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how close they get to your house :D!
Poor things!! I do feel sorry for them in winter. Lovelt shots Tom.
ReplyDeleteawesome! wishing you all the best in 2010! mine is up. see yah.
ReplyDeletehappy camera critters! visit my 2nd entry! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteWow - what a great photo op! Love the photos of this delightful deer.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until my daughter gets home so I can show her these. They are positively wonderful. That fellow needs a decent sandwich!
ReplyDeleteI just can't get over the wildlife in your yard : )
ReplyDeleteHello Tom, my friend, it has been some time. I haven't been able to access my emails properly because of some viruses but with some help of a friend, I am able to retrieve some of them.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I have not been around and I do hope you and your family is well and that the holiday season has treated you fairly well.
As soon as I can, I will send you an email.
I noticed the deer munching on the bird feeders here as well and the seed bird bells and watched the birds sit by waiting for their turn... when I go to work each morning, I'm greeted by groups of 6 to 12 deer outside of the door... I call them my escort group! =) Every year this happens, it's quite funny.
I want to wish you a Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. Please know I'm thinking about you ALL the time, ok?
Hugs and kisses♥
Lovely deer shots! I saw 4 in the neighbor's yard today...but they saw me and ran away :-(
ReplyDeleteIt's cool how you took us so close to such a timid animal!
ReplyDeleteThese are great pictures of the deer. I'm glad she cooperated and let you get her picture.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! Great shots, FG!
ReplyDeleteAnd as usual, the critter is sticking her tongue out at you. Funny!!
