Butterflies

Our butterflies really enjoy the "Butterfly" bushes. We had quite a variety.

Coat Transition

These photos of Apple and Pie, taken Aug. 26th, show how Apple's coat is beginning to make the transition for the coming winter. Her reddish-brown spring coat is making the change to grey-brown.

Another Surprise!!

This morning, one of our "regulars", Nutmeg, brought her 2 new fawns. This is the first season she has given birth and we were surprised to see twins. We have never had so many fawns in one season. To recap:

Apple's fawn is named Pie

Cider's fawn is named Spicy

Nutmeg's fawns are Cinnamon & Clove

Here are Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Clove....

The Whole Family Together

For the first time, both Apple and Cider brought their fawns (Pie and Spicy) to the feeding area at the same time. I couldn't get a photo of the group, but here is a video.

Apple and Pie - Aug. 18, 2009

Cider and Spicy

On July 30th, Cider brought her fawn to the property. She has been named "Spicy".

New Arrival - Apple's fawn

About 6am this morning, we had a quick glimpse of Apple's fawn. This was the first time she brought her fawn to the property. Upon going out to deliver the morning breakfast of deer feed and apples, our other resident deer, Nutmeg, was already at the feeding station. Nutmeg's presence seemed to make Apple nervous and Apple took her baby back into the woods. We have named the new fawn Pie.
