Yesterday's Visitors

Against the brown grasses and the rusty leaves these animals are unseen unless they move a leg, flick an ear or flash a white tail.  They stopped by in my backyard for brunch on oak nuts and tender tendrils.  They look so thin, I am worried if they will make it through the winter.  All of these photos were taken through the bedroom window which needs cleaning




I also wonder if one of the youngest is that little fawn we found back in July and posted about on my other blog?

    They do look thin for pre-winter. Maybe they'll fatten up on the nut harvest.

    Yes, way too thin. Is there any government agency that knows anything?

    Oh my.. they are thin. I wonder why, after all summer? A good quality deer feed might help them get through the winter.

    Poor things! And i would be tempted to buy feed for them, and then i'd probably have scads of them coming all winter and they would eat me out of house and home.

    They do look very thin wit the ribs showing through.

    I wonder why they are so thin. Have they overpopulated their habitat or has their habitat been shrinking by human intrusion?

    Do you feed them in the winter, or do they have to take their chance? They do look thin.

    Oh, they are thin. I suppose not a good sign going into winter season. But perhaps they will move on to a better feeding ground if possible. -- barbara

    Could be the same deer--since they do grow so fast.. AND--I've heard that they come back to the same areas often...

    NEAT photos.. I love seeing deer. They are such beautiful creatures... I just don't like them eating our flowers... ha

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Gosh, they do look thin! But it looks really green there. I hope they can munch enough to hold them over!

    Oh my goodness! They are terribly thin. Poor things. They'd better move on to a new area so they can fatten up before the cold comes.

    The deer around here are all fatties. They are always eating the apples of the tree down the street. And of course all of my flowers.

Glad to hear from you once again. I really like these visits. Come sit on this log and tell me what you are thinking.
