Birds Depend On Deer In Winter...

In the last 24 hours we have had about 8-12 inches of fresh snow fall (snow, rain, freezing rain, then snow)...

I spread some Chickadee Mix (lots of nuts, sunflower seeds & such) bird seed in-between the snow in places that were less likely to get heavy accumulation (like under the tree, chiminea, patio table). But with the wind, that did little good...

But in came the night visitors - the deer...

Their keen sense of smell led them right to the seeded areas. They are but they also uncovered a lot of area for the birds to get to the seed this morning.

Thanks deer - I'll keep this in mind when I see you grazing in my garden when all is about to bloom...
