Deer diary,

Antler cast was only a couple months ago but they’re already growing back!! SO COOOOOOOOL.

Ok that’s all for how.

Deer diary,

Jorts (neighbor cat I don’t know the name of so I refer to mentally for the icon) the other day ended up in the tree trying to hunt the scrub-jays. I was worried but it seems the jays were not fussed and practically teasing the kitty and he not too long later gave up.

Anyway, he’s very pretty even if a bit of a doofus.

Deer diary,

I was so delighted to learn that this tree in our yard blossoms! The Seek app thought it was almond blossom but I haven’t confirmed that yet. Anyway, here’s some friends.

Deer diary, Long time no post! I’ll try to share some more updates soon. I started befriending my scrub-jays and seen some recent squirrel and cat shenanigans too!

Update: his name is Degas, because his antlers are two and two. Here he is on the clock video app site thingy https://www.tiktok.com/@mirkitten/video/7049778340609150254?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1 

Deer diary,

This is the second antler boi to visit! He’s a smaller and younger seeming one (less dark head and tarsal glands on back legs), fewer points on antlers. There was a doe (I think eyeliner goth one!) he briefly shared the yard with but then she was like ehhhh pass and scampered off. He tried following and came back a few minutes later, think he lost her. Hung out and munched all day. So happy to have them.

Deer diary,

I got a new camera lens! It’s cheap but ZOOOOOOM. Gonna try to take bird photos soon. Here’s an under exposed dark eyed junco. They’re probably our most common birds.

Deer diary,

Here’s another regular visitor. This kitty is a bit of a scaredy doofus, but so pretty!! Kitty likes stalking the bird feeder but seems much too slow to cause any harm which is good, cause I was concerned.

Thinking about calling him Jorts. The black kitty would of course be Jean.

Deer diary,

I shared this same video on tiktok where I’ve been putting more of the video-ish deer content (I feel like photos are better here?).

Here’s the other snow videos. I’ll share more photos here soon. :)

Deer diary,

Allegedly the pass will reopen in a few hours. Here’s a snowy bird special. I need to figure out less backlit ways of dealing with this feeder.

Deer diary,

More snow! I’m delighted to have it at this level since it’s still novel, but if you could spare a thought the pass I need gets cleared soon, I’d appreciate that.

Thank you deer diary!
