Spring Fever?????

Spring has sprung, and April Fools came 3 days late! Back yard about 20 minutes ago.

Same scenario here too Al... 8 inches deep. And all those poor song birds out there shivering...

Mother Nature pulled a good one this year.

Re: Spring Fever?????

Well, Feb, we don't really feed the deer.......not allowed here, either, but we live right on the edge of the woods, and they come in and raid our bird feeder (in the background)...they also scarf up any spillage that happens along the path to the feeder. I'll see if I can find a picture of one of the "raiders of last park". OK, I found it. no matter how much bird feed we put out when the deer come in, one of the bigger ones gets up and snorkles a lot of it down, and then proceeds to either blow or shift her head around to knock the feed to the ground. The birds do get fed, because I keep restocking the "deer feeding" station.

Re: Spring Fever?????

Al, I didn't know you were a farmer too. That's quite a herd you have there. We also have woods along the back edge of our property, most deer we have had at one time was 8. They didn't bother us too much until they pruned my wife's azalea bushes. If wife isn't happy, nobody is happy!

Re: Spring Fever?????

All, Always a pretty sight to see wildlife in yards. We have Deer that run through our little town and some times get caught in fences. Sad as they do not understand fencing. Anyways, Nice pictures but ya can keep the snow.

Re: Spring Fever?????

I debated as whether to show the photos of the deer to my wife. She'd go bananas! She loves to feed the wildlife. We've got 7 oak trees on our small lot here in Florida and we've probably got more squirrels per branch than anywhere else in the state. Sometimes I think that the majority of my retirement goes out the door in peanuts. I can only imagine what it would be like if we lived in your neck of the woods and we had deer showing up at the back door. Ouch!

Re: Spring Fever?????

I feed deer - lots of deer. I feed lots of everything.
Eddy, here's a good one to show your wife.

Re: Spring Fever?????

That's neat Nancy, but I'll stick with deer. My Doberman met one of your friends a couple of years ago and it took us days of cleaning her up, just enough that we could stand to be around her.

Re: Spring Fever?????

Nancy...

My wife concurs with Bob. She says that she'll stick with her squirrels! I also remember the last time our dog tangled with one of those black and white critters..... it took three large bottles of Hunts Ketchup to get her where we could even stand to be around her.

Re: Spring Fever?????

Re: Spring Fever?????

We were in a Save-A-Lot in Tennessee one day last year and a guy came out carrying a box of fat back and bones. I asked him what in the world he was going to do with it. Seemed like a lot of pea soup and baked beans to me. He said that he feeds a pack of foxes that come to his back porch every night around dusk. I always thought that they were a solitary animal but apparently when food is invovled the rules change.
