Ballet for Breakfast

    I figured I had hung my bird feeder high enough to prevent the deer from stealing the peanut butter, but as you can see from the photo, I was wrong.  There is about a foot ( 30cm) of hard packed snow on the ground under the feeder and that gives the deer the extra height it needs to lick out the peanut butter.  

    The deer are hungry and every morning when I go outside to fill the bird feeders, the deer are out there patiently waiting for me refill the feeders with sunflower seeds and peanut butter.  They also monitor our compost pile and clean it out quickly after I have dumped out our vegetable garbage.
