Pumpkin Treat for the Deer - by Sunscape
After we finish with the Pumpkins for decorations, my husband cuts them up and puts them out for the squirrels and the deer. This is the mother of the twin fawns born in early spring, and I can tell she is pregnant again. Yay, we will see babies next spring.
I caught the yearlings following the mother and crossing the backyard. The twins hopped over the fence and walked to where we put the pumpkins.
Can you see the little spiked horns on the male? He has two points on each horn.
He looks so cute and when he grows up he will be a handsome fellow.
The squirrels had been eating all the seeds from the pumpkins and I saw 7 of them this morning. Here you can see one of them vying for the seeds with the young female.
We got our first trace of snow this week, and now the deer really stand out. I will have to find some other treats for them to enjoy this winter. Have a great week everyone.
Until next time, this is Sunscape
