Yard damage!

Category: Bird Brain Blog | Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 3:09 pm

I was out checking the bird feeders this morning and refilling them, when I noticed a huge amount of deer tracks in the snow. They had been eating the ground cover down by the driveway, when they must have decided to take a break and play with the wind trirly that I have hanging in a tree in the front yard. They pulled that apart and even pulled the metal hangar hook down out of the tree. That's the first time that has ever happened. It had to have been the deer, as the snow was all churned up with hundreds of deer tracks. You never know what you will see when you check your bird feeders! :)

Sorry about the damage, and deer are very destructive. Just glad the deer left your Uncle Sam alone!

When the snow has all the foliage covered, the deer come up at night and butt the bird feeder with their head to shke seed out onto the ground. I have seen them do this in the moonlight .
