The previous three years, a deer with lopsided antlers has frequented the back yard. I haven't seen him yet this year, so perhaps there has been a generational change. The past few days there have been two young bucks hanging around, and today I chased one of them away from our tree by the front door. The lopsided deer used that tree once to rub the velvet off his antlers, breaking some branches in the process. The two new ones aren't at that stage yet as the antlers are still growing.
Over at the other birdbath, there is a constant stream of flickers, bluebirds and sparrows. I've seen the swallows at the nest boxes every once in a while, but I don't think either swallows or bluebirds are nesting there this year. We were in Ireland for a few weeks so I haven't had the melted Browning watching the boxes. I haven't gotten the remote trigger for the DSLRs out yet this year. Maybe next week.
