A Day for Deer

I can often be found on the back porch looking for birds in the surrounding trees. Yesterday was no different. However, as I scanned the trees for a hawk I heard, I happened to see this deer walking along on the far side of the pond. Fortunately, Gus was asleep and didn't bark, so I got a couple of shots.

Even though spotted me. 

I glanced down at Gus to make sure he was still asleep and when I looked up the deer was gone. However, I saw what I thought was her laying partially under the cedar tree. Much to my surprise, when I zoomed in, it was a fawn. My first ever. I wish the weeds were not in the way of a clear picture, but nonetheless I was excited.

Later that afternoon, during one of my back-road-rambles, I saw this buck run across the road and into the trees. His curiosity got the better of him. He stopped to stare. Thank you Mr. Buck.

  6. Those are nice deer shots, Betty. The fawn is sooo cute. I am guessing that the spots go away with age. We also see birds when we sit on our back porch, but the usual kind, doves, mocking birds, blackbirds, and the like. We have a black bird dove size with a tail almost as long as its body. I don't know what they are. I finally got a picture of them, I may figure out how to make it post for "W" things?
