Hello deer

I couldn't figure out how the birds were eating so much birdseed. It seemed like each morning I looked out the back window the houses were empty with the exception of the wrens house. So upon careful watching one evening I uncovered the mystery. First a buck arrived and helped himself to the birdseed on the ground. Shortly after a doe arrived and helped herself to the squirrel house. Not soon after that three more came and helped themselves to the food. With over 1000 deer on the island here, the land is overrun by deer. Although I do love to see them, I am sure that once spring and summer come I will not love them as they love to eat vegetable gardens and hostas. Until then, I will continue to feed them and enjoy seeing them out the sunroom window.
