I love this season, rutting season. A doe will come into heat for 24 hours, once in November, and again in December, if she wasn't impregnated. The male will follow her around, waiting for his chance.

To answer your question, Karen, Nutmeg is a fierce killer, and loves the birds. She stays in after her morning romp in the dark. Cinnamon just goes after voles. I've found 82% of their prey are rodents.
