This years winter weather really is tough on the wildlife.
Fluffy snow, soft snow, the Deer are all over, even next to our house eating the shrubs and hitting the Bird feeders. This morning, snow is frozen again and no signs of Deer around our house except for the Deer feeder out back, that gets hit every night. Hard snow makes travel tough for Deer. It's colder than a Witch's heart this morning.
We live near homes but in a township. The fresh, fluffy snow Saturday morning revealed a Red Fox track across our front stoop and across our parking area. Another Red Fox track in the backyard. Last night around 9:30pm I had my Carnivore 5 and looked out the back door for Deer. A Grey Fox was 24' away near a bird feed where the Rabbit feed each night.
When wildlife is getting close to homes, it's tough conditions out there...

ok for all you haters out there suffering through all the snow, here it is... even in the sunny south we're not immune from that crap...

shortly after I posted that picture yesterday it started sleeting/freezing rain all through the night last night and I awoke to about ½" of ice on everything this morning...



a lil chickadee on the feeder this morning...  you can still see some of the ice, but it's melting fast...  it's up to 33° already...
