It looks like the deer has been eating snow. Nice capture of the deer looking and listening to make sure everything is safe. |

Great catch. I particularly love the way you've captured a rather surprised-looking expression. |

Poor, cold thing with the snow on his/her nose. It's *illegal* to feed them? That kind of sucks. |

Good idea to put salt out for them! I'm thinking I'll buy a bale of alfalfa in a few days and put it in the field. We're about to hit below digits and the powder snow will freeze, makeing it hard for the deer to paw for grass. They eat bark and pinecones this time of year mainly. Also...sorry to ramble, but it's illegal to feed the deer and I technically could be fined by our gamewarden, the same man that shot my hybrid wolves, but that's another story.
I tend to shy away from feeding anything except Hummingbirds! It's also hard to feed a forest. I had a few quail last week and I'm up to 2 dozen tonight. At 2 TBSP of seed per bird...it adds up fast. I've learned the hard lesson of survival of the fittest. |

very nice. Make one feel sorry for them having to stay out in the cold and not much to eat. |

This is just cute. You may want to put out a salt block for them too, if you don't already have them out for livestock nearby. |
