Morning visit - camouflage and youngster control!

The deer came back during the morning for another snack. The first part of the video shows how well the fawn is camouflaged against the trees. Then the mother has to take control of the fawn! (The first picture shows the fawn walking in.)

Who did that?

I came through at breakfast time to get coffee and the deer and fawn were outside. The deer scared itself by stepping on the food tray.

Deer and raccoons.

The raccoon and deer shared during the night. One raccoon was sure the food was hiding UNDER the bowl, and then we had the mother deer and fawn through at breakfast time.

Deer, fox, and a raccoon family late to the party!

The deer was around in the afternoon. The fox paid a visit - so they are still around, but not taking care of the rabbit population! The raccoon family was late to the party and went away empty.

Two Hummingbirds

One hummingbird feeding when a second tried to come in - both flew off! Hummingbirds are very territorial.
