Fall Visitors

Although we have visitors to the garden all year, their numbers seem to increase dramatically in the Fall. I think the deer start to come in closer because it is hunting season and they seem to sense they are safer here. The Woodpeckers, on the other hand, leave for Summer and return in Fall. I don't know where they go or why they want to be here in Winter. This little guy is baby Hammy and he has found a couple of new friends in recent days. I hope one of them is building a warmer house than baby Hammy is because baby may be looking for a roommate come snow!
