Lunch time

The deer are especially hungry at this time of year
Twenty minutes after I finished piling the limbs of birch trees I had cut down for firewood my trail camera recorded these four deer stepping up to browse on the branch tips.
If the dog isn't with me while I'm cutting I can usually spot the deer standing around in anticipation of their feast. They pretty much come running as soon as they hear the chainsaw.
