Oh Deer!




Although deer are daily visiters around here, there seems to be even more than usual right now. The grass is tall, everything is green and there is lots for them to eat. On the way to work each day we are usually seeing 6 or more even before we get to the end of our road.

Earlier in the month a heavily pregnant doe was on the back berm a lot, and there are two hollows in the brush immediately behind us that I have been avoiding in hopes that she will feel comfortable there.

We have seen several fawns from the road, which are still very tiny. We have decided to keep a small camera in the car now just in case. Our neice Deanna shared some fantastic photos (above) of some fawns taken shortly after they were born near her workplace.
