Deer in the early morning mist

I woke around dawn and looked out into the deep woods and saw 2 young does eating in the near woods.  They were quiet as mice and I too was silent.

Squirrels and scavenger activity around bird feeders and bird seed

I store my bird seed in a container, apparently it needs to be metal, since the squirrels have gnawed through and are eating up my bird seed!   Next trip to the store I must find a metal trash can, of olden times design to keep out the damn squirrels!

Late Fall and the Bird Feeders are out!

It is a sharp, cold morning, I have my feeders out since Nov 1st.  I have been visited by 3 distinct types of Woodpeckers,  Downy, yellow bellied sapsucker and a 3rd as yet untyped bird...

I have black sunflower, cracked corn and specific woodpecker feed at my feeders
