Please note: Due to the recent baiting ban put in place in Michigan we at EBF are not intentionally feeding the deer. Our bird feeding stations all together hold around 100 pounds of bird feed. Many of the birds and squirrels spill a lot of this feed to the ground. Usually this time of year we like to put down apples, carrots, and other vegetables for the deer to enjoy, this year we are not. When the ban is lifted, we plan to go back to our normal deer feeding for nature viewing. We have mineral blocks placed near the feeding areas which serve several purposes. They keep the porcupines from chewing on our deck and other wood things, like tools. Also, we have seen a lot of the other animals utilize the mineral blocks, and surprisingly many of the birds use them too.
