Gumbo’s Pic of the Day, March 10, 2015: Oh Deer, you are Hungry!

Winter in Alberta is long and can be harsh.  With snow covering the land, food for wildlife can be hard to get. That’s when we see deer wandering around the residential areas searching for something to eat.  Like these three friends a few weekends ago, nibbling my neighbour’s low-hanging mountain ash tree’s fruits.  They seemed calm and to be enjoying themselves.

It would be tempting to offer food to these beautiful creatures.

But would it be a short sighted gesture for me to encourage wild animals into the residential area?

Maybe encourage bears too.

Is it a case of “Nature knows best” and leave well alone ?
