Pappy:
Ya they love my back yard also, the pear trees are blooming along with most everything else and they love it. As far as feed, they never get very hungry in our part of the world and are also very laid back this time of year. :)

12" of snow cover but where ever there is a bare spot in fields that have melted a little deer seem to be on them, March can be rough month for our deer, no corn or soybeans left over and very little greens yet, Lots of browse and they look real good so far, Spring is a comin heard a few redwing blackbirds and seen a turkey vulture on a road kill deer.

BowEd:
Good pics by all.Love it.I saw my first turkey vulture here the other day here too.Seems winters deep freeze hold is about gone for good.This winter was different though.I saw blue birds in the end of november/early december.Pretty rare for here this far north.

Zuma:
Ed, you are making me a little home sick. Although the deer usually don't show themselves until April in my back yard. But the hens show up.

JW_Halverson:
You guys are seeing much the same as I am.  If the winter has not been particularly hard, this can be a pretty restful season for those does.  They may have a little fat left from year before, no one running around shooting at them, and the warmer days and shorter nights mean they are burning fewer calories and the sun can be a real blessing on a south facing slope.  Then, on a good day, they can walk along the garden and munch the "deer lollipops" (tulip flower buds).
