Breakfast is served! Many mornings I find as many as five deer eating corn at the feeder near Bayer Pond. They have come to associate the sound of the feeder slinging corn (each morning at 7 a.m.) with a favorite breakfast.

 If you approach from down wind and move very slowly they will permit you to get as close as 25 feet as this beautiful doe and three month old fawn did to me.

She will soon wean the youngster so that she can mate again by November if the weather and food remain favorable—she may well carry twins. I believe the other three deer are mature does. Stay tuned to follow the lives of these graceful creatures!
