Oh, oh, oh -- how VERY wonderful !! Well worth the very slow wait on my dial-up ISP. This is a rare treat.

We feed them in our back yard but nothing like this WOW

OMG Alffe, the title of the thread I about hit the floor. Deer for breakfast, lol. My very favorite wild animal is the deer. They are so beautiful in their simplicity.

I get so tired of hearing about the overpopulation of deer. Geesh, let's talk about people overpopulation. :cool:

That is so awesome, thank you! I love it. Those are some pretty special people feeding those deer. :hug:

oh my...
 
How amazing this is! Thanks for finding it and posting it here.

I have some deer pics...will post them on my Flickr account...I'll let you know
when they are available.

We feed too, only not on plates! HEHEHEHEH... our deer are skittish and wary...since they get shot at just after we leave. But I have one of mom and her fawn..that is pretty good.

My husband also loved this. ;)

OOO WOW Alffe, how can we thank you!!! When I read the title I figured it was some joke about deer or an actual recipe..LOL LOL
To have that many..just gathering around while eating breakfast is unbelievable.
My husband and I have just this summer started birdwatching at a marsh area that is about 3 miles from our house. It was turned into a park area about 10 yrs ago. The deer love the woods that surrounds the park and are often out in the soy bean feild that is near the entrance (I feel sorry for that poor farmer harvesting what might be left when they finish with it). The one evening that I chose NOT to take my camera was when there were 15 deer in the field!!! Two bucks with noticable antlers beginning to form, a couple tiny fawns as well. This beats anything that MY eyes have ever seen.
Thanks for sharing!!!

Wonderful pictures Mrs.D! Your island looks like a garden spot..I cannot imagin watching deer swim.

Cabnvas? Not familiar with them...it's a duck...right?

I just yesterday had a hummingbird at our feeder....I have so few flowers this year after losing my beds to the new septic system last fall.

Hopefully the new plants will spread next spring and my hummers will return.

Thanks again for the pictures! :hug:

sorry for the typos...
 
Alffe... I had to use the laptop to put those up...since they are not on this machine. This summer was the first for taking a laptop up there. It was tough getting it recharged (we did this at the laundromat) and running on wifi up there which was free provided by the local tourist association (which was down alot),

But I did use the laptop to download the pics off the camera, and fix some of them using my program. It is just that I didn't expect to not be able to type well on it. I type very fast, on a normal keyboard, but the laptop is VERY different, and it frustrates me terribly.

So the bird is Canvas Back duck... I don't know how to fix those texts on Flickr...it is all I can do just to get them up there....duh:thud:

LOL! I had no idea you had typos! I'm not familiar with Cabnvas or
Canvas back ducks. thanks for explaining that....Great Lakes area? I'm in northern Indiana and a huge fan of Lake Michigan. Ever been to Tower Hill?

Doody 09-07-2007 11:01 AM

I've been to Tower Hill. :)

No I am sorry we don't get to the Lake Michigan side often. We are in the UP in the most Eastern part just before Canada. Northern Lake Huron.

We don't have many Canvas Backs at all. 90% of our "ducks" are Common Mergansers. Mergansers are technically not ducks, but they quack and we all call them that. Ducks eat vegetation, these all eat fish/snails, crayfish etc.
We have some loons too. Lots of calling this year. Mergansers pool families and we had two groups of over 19 each when we left. In fact I saw the Canvas back mom threat display twice to a small group of Mergansers who swam past her. So there must be a competition of sorts between the two
types.(this was new to me)

It is unusual to have tiny babies in very late August like those two. If the mink family had used our old dock pilings as a nursery (like they do every year) this year, those two ducklings would be gone in an instant. As it was, there were only two left. And we saw them 1/2 grown the day we left, so these two made it that far at least. They only come by us when it is calm. Lake Huron can be mighty rough!

I've only been to Copper Harbor in the UP....beautiful there too! Saw lots of black bears, big and small at the garbage dump! Foolish people getting out of their cars to take pictures.

Love those little baby ducks! :D
