Wildlife in the Snow


We had a wonderful snow on Saturday night. We had some deer hanging out for a little while. The deer were actually on top of our leaf pile, so their legs were sinking into the snow and leaves. The snow was about a foot deep. We think they slept there because it was warmer than the ground.


Dad cleared a path around the edge of the deck and put some seed down for the birds. You can see how carefully I am watching this dove.

Cute little Candian Sparrow who came too.


I think this is a Hairy Woodpecker but I get confused between the different types. Looks like we will have a white Christmas this year!

  3. The snow is pretty but I sure wouldn't want to be outside in it! That was nice of your daddie to feed the hungry birdies. Does it bother you that they are so close to you but yet so far away?

  4. Gracie: It is very tempting to see them so close, but I think the "kitty-tv" aspect of it outweighs the frustration part. Life can get pretty dull around here!

  6. Lots of wildlife there! How do those vishus deer walk in all that snow?? And those birdies are fun to watch, aren't they??

  7. We love the wildlife around your house. How lucky you are! We have a few bird feeders, and get visits from squirrels, skunks and racoons, but not any deer. Stay warm our floofy ginger friend!
