Thanks Guys.

I got home after dark last night, usually the deer feeder is filled by then, so I grab some food, head out back, a doe is like 20 feet from me, I dump the food in their feeder, as I’m walking back to the door, she’s walking to the feeder. I looked at her out the back door and didnt even care, lo,

So these 4 does must be watching, when ever I fill the feeder and put carrots in they come.
And rocky saw me the other night in the sun room and went rite to the back door begging. How could I say no. Lol
look at the deer in the 2nd pic, her back leg looks like it was broke.

Our red shoulder hawks are hanging around a lot. This one comes and visits constantly, well him and his buddies. Looking for frogs and whatever else they can catch.

Nature............bunnies or squirrels like to murder the tulips. I don't really care as the tulips are old and hardly any left.

Only one left w/it's head.

Others look like this!

Bunnies are cuter than the tulips;

Give them time @Burd and maybe they don't eat those (Hyacinth) cuz they are poison? Not sure. I know they don't eat Daffodils. Tons of those around all standing tall and proud!

Mine get eaten by something!

Found this online: Like hyacinths, daffodils are toxic and therefore fully deer-proof. Deer rarely touch them, and even squirrels leave them alone.

Regular milkweed or one of the other varieties? Regular milkweed can take over quickly but the caterpillars will mow it down fast. Trying Pawpaw trees to feed zebra swallow tails. Parsley and dill are great host plants for black swallow tails.
