Birds and deer

 I am ready! The hummingbird feeders are up.


#75 is cleaning up under the feeder. As I wrote yesterday, I will put away the sunflower seed feeder once I see the grosbeaks have returned! 

Evening grosbeak:

As a bonus, the Rose-breasted Grosbeak!

Maybe a little bit more time. I await the bears...

We haven't seen deer in weeks! A trio turned up Sunday morning. Can you see the Evening Grosbeak in the upper right corner on the feeder stand?!


She seems to have a round belly!


One was out in the backyard:


We had an adventure into Ottawa for Caitlin's concert. We had so much fun. More to come!

Grossbeaks are beautiful. And how nice to see the mama deer visiting again.

That evening grosbeak -- wow! And soon, little fawn(s) I think!

Evening grosbeaks are a very attractive bird. Unfortunately this is not their territory and we only see them at certain times.

I envy you for the variety of birds that you get.

The does will be having fawns soon. Generally around the 20 of May.

Always love to see your deer and birds, and other critters :) I find them very therapeutic.
