I have a pear tree in my backyard, and the pears have begun to fall. Except there are no pears to be found on the ground. I suspected raccoons or squirrels, but I spotted the culprit this afternoon. A few shots of the feeding frenzy, and one final when she saw me.

Well, she has good taste. These are much tastier than grass.

Great catch. The last shot shows a very satisfied doe.

It generally takes all day for a deer to throw a pear at another deer 💯💯💯💯

You certainly can't blame them; pears are yummy.

Nice series. My son was putting birdseed on the lawn, but then he noticed cats hanging around. Bird feeders attract bears.

She was eating the whole thing, including a little twig that was attached. It sure saves me a lot of cleanup work.
