Deer

The deer are out and about with the warmer weather.  Yesterday we saw six at one time in the backyard and near the feeder, two bucks with little knobs on their heads and four does. 

Some of them look a little “scruffy” after a long, cold winter.  Like maybe they need a good curry combing?  I don’t think we will get them to stand still for that, they are still very skittish.  They do seem to love the freshly cut grass, and come out right after Rick has mowed. 

 

They are interesting to watch, sometimes they are very playful.  They definitely have a “pecking order” in their herd.  Some of them are very dominant, headbutting the others to bring them in line.
