Katie didn't take much time after she arrived to connect with the Bondi wildlife!
Her first stop was the stable, (not wildlife, as such, but definitely a "party sort of place") to say hello to the horses and check out the chicken nests for eggs. She was our first guest to find some of the funky green eggs provided by the "Sams", our Americauna chickens. Not only were the eggs green coloured, they were still warm on this chilly day!
Her next stop was at the cottage, where the doe and twin fawns were hanging about. A little later, she found a deer bed, the place under the trees at the cottage where the deer curl up for the night. When we hiked up to find the big toboggan hill, she found three more beds grouped together under one of the big spruce trees beside the trail.
She got some sunflower seeds out on the deck railing for the bluejays (and probably the squirrels). Then she and her Dad started building a Snow Fort. Achmed the cat dropped by to check it out.
And then, later still, in front of her cottage, we found Katie playing with a new-found (newly created?) friend. We didn't catch the Snowman's name... and we're a little worried that the carrot nose may not survive a visitation from the fawns, but he's certainly a handsome chap!
