Mystery Solved


Since I am usually rushing out the door in the morning, I fill the bird feeders at night, when I let Danny out to play.

I have noticed that the feeders are usually empty in the morning which is very strange, because birds (and squirrels) sleep at night. I thought it could be a raccoon or possum or perhaps the deer that are constantly in the yard. Everyone laughed at the idea of deer eating my bird feed.

The picture on the right is proof! As I watched, 2 deer came to eat the seed. They tilt the feeder and then stick their tongues in to pull out the seed. If it is tough battling the squirrels, the deer may be impossible.
