My backyard

The bears are gone for the winter, so now the yard belongs to the deer...

Wow! That is your back yard??
Great pics!

LOVELY!

Rob, thank you SO MUCH for sharing those pictures!

Yes, those are the grounds of the estate.

Well, dealing with deers is better than to do it with BEARS! I love deers. Congrats for having them at your backyard!

Vanesa.

We had a buck in our backyard a few years ago. I'll try to find the photo.

I haven't seen many deer this year; though they have to be better than the turkeys pecking at our cellar windows.

Where's the concrete pond?

Wow Rob, what a sight!! I am so jealous of all you country folk....we city folk don't get a lot of wildlife!

Well now, I guess I'm not so jealous of that.

It was the strangest thing, Amy. I was laying in bed and I heard this loud rapping outside. At first, I thought maybe the neighbor had some construction going on, but it was coming from the other side of the house where our yard is. There would be a few seconds of rapping, and then silence. Then rapping again. I finally went outside to investigate and there was a whole flock of turkeys on the side of the house. This big tom was pecking the heck out of the cellar window and I couldn't get him to go away. I sure as heck didn't want him chasing me or anything. He might have pecked me instead. I ended up getting a large pan and metal spoon and making so much noise he ran off, taking his girls with him.
