Deer skull mounted outside our garage.

I tried to get some video of her feeding the baby birds, but I was making her nervous, and she kept screaming at me from the antlers, so I backed off.

The first time this happened we laughed a lot. It’s a pretty clever spot to raise babies. Under an eave. Inside hard bone. What predator would think to look in there for a meal?
