Deer!

Clear and cool...a beautiful morning on the mountain...

- Several Goldfinches on the feeders at dawn....
- No raccoon evidence.....
- Red-Bellied Woodpecker.....
- The Nuthatches.....
- Three deer had breakfast with me....See attached photo....
- As I moved from my driveway...three does were coming toward me up the side of the road...three different does than the photograph....and a young buck trailing them....their behavior was erratic...and the buck (see bottom photo), typical to the species during the annual rut, seemed to never see me though he walked within 50' of my SUV...his mind obviously on other things.
