White-tailed deer are herbivores. Their stomachs allow them to digest a varied diet, including leaves, twigs, fruits and nuts, grass, corn, alfalfa, and even lichens and other fungi.
I heard from a Québec reader that this deer is “gravide” or “about to give birth”.

NATURE POETRY
May is a green as no other, May is much sun through small leaves, May is soft earth, And apple-blossoms, And windows open to a South wind. – Amy Lowell (1874–1925)

What a wonderful face with which to greet the day! Such outstanding pictures, generally! Keep this up, Miles, and you may have your own photo exhibit someday. Thank you so much!
Nature is so beautiful.
All the pictures are nice.
That deer quite enjoyed being photographed. I especially liked the picture of the foliage in his mouth.
Thank you.

The Rose Breasted Grosbeak may be beautiful but he is also bold and bullying my Baltimore Orioles. We hung up a special Oriole feeder with jam and sugar water and it has attracted the Grosbeak and he is obviously the local thug in the bird community. He loves the jam as well while his mate is a glutton with the suet cake. We don’t mind and love watching them all.
Thank you Miles for the post.
