Richard Deer

 The cats have the right idea. I lightened the image in iPhoto, and you can see colours from the stained glass artwork reflected on Nutmeg's fur. It is a tricky photo, with the bright light behind them, but can you feel the warmth of the sun?! At this point it was pretty cold out. Something like -10 C.!

As I wrote yesterday, I have removed the bush that was blocking our view. Here is the before and afters!





I spotted a chickadee on the back deck. When I went out, it bonked its head on the glass trying to get out. I escorted it to the end, where the glass stops. It flew off happily. Maybe relieved! 

We have a winter storm warning. School busses are cancelled. A Colorado Low has come to visit. The trees are droopy, and I fear we may lose more branches. I worked indoors yesterday, repairing the cat tower.


I did not visit the trailcams yesterday. I decided to stay indoors. I still have to change the setting on this trailcam. It quits after 10 seconds, and I lose the action. 
Richard Deer has been around. I haven't seen Little Richard, though. Jan. 11, noon, by the frogpond camera.

Richard came for a visit out front. I can tell it is him, since that right, forward antler tine is divided. This was about 7:30 in the morning. I went and woke JB up, as I knew he's want to see see Richard. Jan. 11/23

Richard spend a long time out front. There are two more videos, which I shall post later. He is a handsome buck, with impressive antlers. I hope he drops them nearby!

    Tom, Their antlers are consistent year to year, and unique, for the most part, to the buck! I can tell by their behaviour, as well!

    Cats have an amazing ability to find patches of sun.

    I don’t think you'll be outside much today.

    How interesting that the antlers are the same each year.

    Richard is gorgeous and I would happily wake up to see him (or any of his relatives). Stay safe.

    I can't get over how close those deer come by, it's really lovely. I am not a fan of the beeswax covers. I have tried them, and wasn't impressed. Other's however rave about them.

    You get more coverage of the deer with your cameras. You also seem to get quite a bit of daytime visits. Here they go through mostly at night and I just see tracks.

    You really do get to spend your life with other creatures. How wonderful!

    I'm glad your chickadee was OK and didn't get badly hurt.

    It's amazing how cats love to lay in sunny spots ... can't say I blame them!

    Aren't the antlers wonderful.

    All the best Jan
