Such a beautiful bird.<br />I also have that same birdbath -- it's been outside (24/7) for years and still working great!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372567210473774341.post-74812377382868303932013-01-23T07:41:17.497-08:002013-01-23T07:41:17.497-08:00That depends on a number of things.

However, on cold nights (or some warmer ones), if the moon cycle is such that it is bright or fairly light all night, the deer will be out eating all night too. Last night was one of those nights. I got up and checked the outside temps several times. The yard was full of deer working on the alfalfa. Being it had been cold, they were out there a lot of the day too. Plus, on those really nasty wind days/nights....they can't hear as well because it is so noisy so they tend to be more restless and alert anyway. But, on cold, snowy, wintery days like the last couple...they have darned good appetites. :)FoxyLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562844458563999969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372567210473774341.post-86886302068233624362013-01-22T16:18:03.273-08:002013-01-22T16:18:03.273-08:00I was thinking about the deer last night and hopin...I was thinking about the deer last night and hoping they all found places out of the wind to settle down in. So here's a question from someone who doesn't know nature like you do: On a frigid night (like those we've been having) do the deer bed down to conserve their body heat or do they roam around foraging for fuel for their body?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
