That is so cool. Great picture. How close were you standing for the shot?  
I never have any luck making bird houses or nests. I seem to do something wrong and never get any takers.

I put these roosting pockets up under the roof of our front porch. One of the living room windows faces this one, and that’s where I took the photo from. It’s probably less than 10 feet from the window to the nest.

The deer look ragged. Are they shedding a Winter coat or something?

Sounds like a good explanation to me. I do not know that much about deer. Some one who does surly sees the thread and could jump in and tells us.

The woodpeckers and the cardinals have your number. I didn’t notice a difference here in Summer or Winter, but do the deer make more use of your food kindness in Winter than Summer?
