I appreciate it when my resident White-tailed Deer prunes my cedar hedges (not so when it eats my seedlings).
However, I had no idea that deer also liked snowberries (aka waxberries), but there it was roaming from bush to bush munching. Wikipedia confirms: the snowberry is an important food source for the White-tailed Deer. Well, you are welcome to these also, just as long as you keep coming by for a visiting.
I spotted my resident doe as it moved through my yard from one snowberry bush to the next.
At one bush, it stared at me as if to say, “Look I really want to continue eating my lunch if that is all right with you.”
“Well, you can watch me eat if you insist.”
Great shots! There certainly seems to be an abundance of these snowberries around – and easily accessible. My husband said grouse also like them.
I didn’t know they like them either. I do but that is purely esthetic. I loved the trumpeter swan pictures Alistair.
As always, your photos are an inspiration. I would try to get more photos of our local area, but the only time I’m not working is at night. You also pointed out to me that retirement really improves ones skills with a camera.
John, Chuckle, it is not clear to me how anybody ever gets anything done when he (or she) has to work for a living.
