Oh Deer

Here is a picture of a White-tailed Deer. This gal was visiting the neighbor’s backyard for a nibble of grass. She didn't stay too long once we saw her. I'm sure there were others close by we just didn't see them. This is the first deer sighting, from our window, for us this fall/winter.

I know they're out there a lot more then we see them, even in the summer. It doesn't take a Davy Crockett to see the signs; droppings, hoof prints, chewed plants etc. However, with the leaves off the trees and food scarce they tend to venture closer to houses with the cold weather.

We should discourage them from visiting and run them off when we see them just so they don't do damage to our shrubs, trees and plants but we do enjoy watching them when they come out.
