One of the deer snorting...

Sorry this video is a bit shaky but Sarah was walking while filming trying to get a little closer. Anyways, at the 17 second mark if you listen very carefully you'll hear one of the deer to her right, that you can't see, snort at Sarah. So turn up your volume.

Deer Video...

I'll be trying to capture some action between the deer. I've managed to get lots of still shots but never think to try to get it on video. Of course tonight they didn't get into it much...that's cause I was filming. I edited this part of a longer video to show the big white fluffy tail on one of the deer.



videos taken just a few minutes ago - March 28/07




I'm going to try to save my video's at a higher size...I find these look quite pixelated. Sorry about the quality.

The front yard a few minutes ago...

snow buntings

the deer fighting for their right to the food

there were ten deer here a few minutes ago

I didn't get them all in the picture though

Feisty...

aren't they!!! Sometimes they share...sometimes they don't.

I took this picture a few minutes ago from the playroom window. I thought it was pretty neat. Wild turkeys are quite beautiful when they spread their wings and you're able to see what they actually look like.

More turkey pictures....

I took these pictures yesterday. The turkey's were quite close to the house so I grabbed my camera and stepped outside. They didn't seem to be too spooked so I just kept walking along and followed them for a bit. I wish I could have gotten closer and been able to take some shots from a better angle. Unfortunately the light source never seems to be at the proper angle.

Quick Post to add some more photos...

Just posting some photos I took a few minutes ago...to show the buck with just one antler. We'll have to go for a walk and see if we can find some more antlers in the bush to add to our collection.

Here's a few more taken last week...

I cropped and lightened the picture of the large buck so you could have a closer look. It doesn't show in the picture but he only has 9 points.

Fooling around in photoshop...

Just thought I'd post this too. I was fooling around in photoshop and thought this turned out kinda neat.

I haven't posted in ages....

and this year has not been the best year for wildlife around our yard. Our winter had been rather warm and very little snow until about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I've managed to get a few new pictures...but no where near what I have been able to get the last few years. I did manage to capture three females actually sharing the feed this year...it matches quite nicely with the pictures of the three bucks I photographed last year.

A REMINDER - clicking on pictures will take you to a larger version

And the last one for today...notice the missing tail feathers!! 

Another view... 

Turkey anyone...taken this afternoon on our front lawn and laneway. 

Here's Bubba Again...

I haven't added any pictures for quite some time now...haven't had any really great picture taking opportunities lately. Here's an older one from earlier this winter. Another view of Bubba...the ten pointer, as he crosses our laneway. I downloaded a photoshop action this evening that automatically does a black and white conversion to your pictures...I tried it out on this one. It may look better on a higher quality photo!

WOW!!!

Al just emailed me this picture...WOW!! We feed the deer in our front yard but we sure don't get this many!!! Of course we don't put out that much feed either.

Dinner time in Eagle River

These people living in Northern Wisconsin put some corn out in the winter to sustain the area deer in the Wisconsin community of rural Eagle River.

Bubba...

Well I haven't posted in awhile...been busy setting up a new computer so I had to download all the software I had before. What a pain. So here's another picture of Bubba...the 10 point buck. He was crossing our laneway and I got pretty close.

A Closer Look...

Here's a cropped and edited version of the previous picture of Bubba. 

Here's Bubba...

I think this is Bubba the ten point buck. I didn't look too closely at it before I posted. 

Email Entries...cool!!

I just found out that I can publish to my blogs through email...only drawback is that I can't seem to include a picture. I'll keep doing some investigating on that though...I may have missed something along the way.

And I changed some settings so that way more posts are visible on the main page...this will be so much better than having to go into the archives to view all of the previous posts...for those of you with high speed anyway. I'm on dial up so now the page will take forever for me to see...haha!! Chow for now...

Ever seen a fight between some turkeys and a deer...

Because I am on dial up service I use a little program called Hello to upload my pictures to this blog. I'll be uploading a series of pictures of a deer approaching some turkeys and what happens. There are going to be four seperate posts. This is picture #1. Enjoy!!
