Animal Tales

At Aquarobics this morning we got to talking about the deer and how they wander through our town.  Mary Ellen told us that her neighbor has a bird feeder that she has to tilt to fill. The deer have discovered it and learned that if they tilt it just so, the birds' food falls right into their open and waiting mouths. She gets a kick out of watching them feed there.

I pictured the deer munching on sunflower seed and other tiny seeds. And then Mary Ellen said that her neighbor puts corn in the feeder for the birds.  Ah, corn.  Yes, of course the deer would enjoy feeding on the corn.

    Clever, beautiful creatures, aren't they? My co-worker lives in a condo complex that backs onto a golf course, just outside of the city. Every morning he's treated to sights of mule deer strolling through the golf course and stopping at all the bird feeders on the way. Sounds like heaven to me.

    Happy Thursday, NJ :)

    That does sound like it would be fun to watch. Our golf course gets visited by the deer, too.
