They're Here!

Actually, these visitors are here around all year long, but once the field is cleared in the fall we can see them so much better. These not-so-timid creatures will feast on the leftovers of the harvest all winter long, often wandering into our back yard and nibbling on our bushes and the remnants of our garden. This past Thursday I counted 27 as I crept quietly into the field to capture a few photos. There were 4 bucks toward the back of the herd. Of course, they would tolerate only so much of me before they got skiddish and leaped back into the treeline, white tails high.
