2016-12-18: What I’ve seen this week

I managed to capture a few photos of some of the local wildlife this week. I hope you enjoy, and have a great Sunday.

20161218-weekly-photots-35-edit — I’ve been seeing this rabbit in the neighbourhood for months, and it makes me sad as it is definitely not one of the regular wild hares, but likely a pet that someone abandoned. During the bitterly cold snap we have been having, I make sure there is some of the feed we leave for the deer accessible for him/her.

20161218-weekly-photots-71-edit — Just like last winter, the deer bowl was empty, so split-ear raided the sunflower seeds I leave out for the birds. And, she’s teaching her young ones the same tricks!

20161218-weekly-photots-59-edit — Four deer were in the yard when it was time for me to fill feeders; they are quite comfortable with me and I knew they wouldn’t go far when I was outside, so I took my camera along and grabbed a few photos. Good thing it had warmed up enough that I only needed gloves on, not mittens. Operating a camera with mittens is just not functional.

20161218-weekly-photots-43-edit — Not quite the customer I had in mind for the sunflower seeds!
