Fall Wildlife

Fall is in the air and we have started feeding the deer again.  I've set up the wildlife camera and have been rewarded with a show of wildlife and some not-so-wildlife.  

Our deer feeder is just an old refrigerator vegetable drawer with holes drilled in the bottom.  "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" is our motto!  We buy dried corn at the local Atwoods store or at the mill.  Each day, Tom puts a coffee can full of corn in the feeder.

It didn't take the local deer population to find it.

Some of them even come out before dark to get first dibs.

Some of them get pretty frisky.

There are other animals that come through during the night.  Like this coyote.

And this possum (yeah, I know it is technically an Opossum).  See him at the very bottom.  He just barely made it in the picture.

And, there are the animals that come through during the day.

The chickens occasionally stray over to this part of the property, but they don't seem interested in eating the corn.

We dog-sat for our daughter's dog during fall break and she got her picture taken too.  She looks a lot like our dog, but it smaller and has floppy ears instead of erect ears, like Sally.

This past summer was so hot and humid that I could hardly bear to go outside.  So, I am loving this cooler weather.  The wildlife is becoming more active and so am I!
