A group of five buck deer decided to check out our garden area this morning. (My apologies for shots hurriedly taken through a dirty window.)

The bucks just milled around browsing for a while. (You can see a little bit of the light dusting of snow we received on Sunday still hanging around in places not yet touched by the sun.)
