Stalking ....

 ... the dead deer.

The reason we have a dead deer in our parking area is to attract wildlife. Extreme critter feeding if you will. It all started with Patty noticing a Bald Eagle in a tree above a roadkill deer, in the road in front of our house, and her desire to get an Eagle in our yard (and get pictures!).

And while we've yet to get an Eagle, we have had Turkey and  Black Vultures, Red-tailed Hawks, Foxen, and other critters visit our dead deer.

And the first critter to visit this deer is ...

... a cat.


One we've seen before in the yard, at the back bubbler.


Note the white boots. 


Here it is stalking the deer.


But in the end it was not interested. And while there were some vultures in the trees above earlier in the day, so far the deer carcass has not been disturbed. Much to our disappointment.
