You are such a fantastic photographer, you know that, don't you!!! <br /><br /><br />My neighbor has continually poured deer corn in her yard to bring the deer. Well, now they are eating her flowers! She has quite a few beds full of flowers.... My husband tried to tell her not to do that. Bet she wishes she would have listened...Now She has to go out & shoo them away. It is quite funny watching her.

The little Northern Yellow Shafted Flicker is just adorable. <br /><br />Oh Betsy, how can you scold something as beautiful as the deer. I would have to plant a few extras just for her. Of course I imagine she is not the only one so that would be a LOT of extras!!!

George works so hard and is such a great caretaker of his beautiful roses. I'm afraid I would declare deer hunt season in my yard if the deer came around and lunched on my roses!Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-29401549153736500932011-08-24T21:53:54.232-05:002011-08-24T21:53:54.232-05:00I do love seeing your backyard birds...it makes me...I do love seeing your backyard birds...it makes me want to slow down and look at the ones around here.

I have seen what I thought was the male was feeding his lady and now I'm wondering if it wasn't just the dad feeding the baby! <br /><br />I love woodpeckers! You sure do have a lot of beautiful birds in your yard!<br /><br />I never thought about putting a stick through the suet feeder like that to help them to be able to eat. I'll have to do that! Right now it is just too hot to put out the suet for them.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-56124256887496818872011-08-24T17:11:43.838-05:002011-08-24T17:11:43.838-05:00You sure get some nice pictures of birds.

He is a beautiful one and must have been very hungry to cross that invisible fence. Will they bloom again or are they ruined when they are eaten?
