Buck videos –licking the bird feeder

There we were. It was approaching the end of the day. Suddenly, there were 5 bucks all interested in the bird feeder. One took a drink from the bird bath, didn't quite capture that, but it was funny. As is his way, hubby kept up his wacky commentary. I don't know where this retired businessman gets his dialogue from! (Maybe it's the voices in his head!)
"I tell you right now, you don't want to get on the wrong side of Caitlin..." –my precious daughter!

There they were, bucks in the front yard, and one on front step. I'd used some cracked corn on the ice on the bottom step. He smelled it! At one point (0:24), I thought he was coming up the front steps! Then he moved into my garden to nibble the dead plants. I bet I can't get the same help in spring when I have to clean up the dead plants from the garden!

Funny.. as I'm watching your second video, I see movement in the corner of my eye... a deer approaching OUR steps. I just love these creatures.

It certainly looks like he wants to come up your steps.

I'm reminded of being at my parents' place one summer morning, looking next door, and watching a bear go up the steps onto the deck of the neighbours' house, look around, and come back down and walk away.
