I stopped at the feed store before work yesterday to pick up a couple bags of food; one for my feathered friends and one for the doe that has been visiting my yard. It was dark when I got home but I could see that the feeders were empty. I was excited to put the grain out for the deer but couldn't decide where to put the tub so she would find it. Well, I must have chosen the right spot because the tub was empty today.
I was feeling under the weather and spent today inside, at home. It wasn't until this evening that I made it outside to refill all the feed stations. Not too long after that, Bambi reappeared. She went straight to her grain. I guess she needed some extra fiber so wandered over to the tray feeder that I filled for the birds. She couldn't reach the seeds on the opposite side so jumped up so her front legs were on the stand and remained that way until she had her fill. I wish it would have been light enough to take a photo. That would have been a once in a lifetime shot.
It's been 6 days now that the doe has been coming into the yard. I feel sorry for her because she is alone and not part of a herd. She's behaved herself so far; eating only the sunflower seeds and her grain. I hope she keeps visiting. I have some of her habits figured out but she continues to entertain me; especially with her feeding antics today.
