We walk by or watch from the deck and window to see lots of bird activity as the feeders empty. I'm not good at bird identification, but I know we've seen little wrens and gold finch as well as many others in the past few weeks. (These feeders seem to be squirrel proof because we've never seen one of those climb the pole.)
But the birds do have competition. I notice movement outside the window as I sit at the desk….one of our neighborhood deer steps out onto the bike path. It walks north and over the grass for a quick stop and a snack. Who says this is just for the birds?? A little munch and then he/she moved on up the path.
No sooner had I put my camera away and gone back to the desk when there was more movement outside. Three more of our resident "herd" popped out of the trees, but they didn't stop. They slowly walked past the birdfeeders and on up the bike path.
I'm sure it's frustrating for the bird-seed-fillers…..but it was fun to see. Maybe I'll offer to buy a bag of birdseed to keep the feeders full for whatever wants to stop for a snack.
