Livermore Deer

Taking a break from the baby posts, Gram Richard has been watching these deer from her windows in Livermore. They have been visiting her house daily, browsing on low branches. Hopefully the snow will melt a bit and expose some grass for them. Despite the deep snow, they look very healthy. I suspect they were yarding nearby and have found that the thin strips of woods around the field and orchards are safe places to feed during the day because they are so close to houses and roads. Coyotes are less likely to go into these areas because they are so wary.
