A wild turkey ambled through the lower backyard.
Large woodpecker on the white pines in front.
A pair of the woodpeckers showed again a different day
on the tree near the garage.
A mole that's digging up our yard. We watched as the woodchips
bubbled around while he moved just under the surface.
Glen saw this deer just as he was getting ready to
use the chainsaw to cut landscape timbers for the stair project.
When I came out to take a picture of the deer, I stumbled on
this fawn, just feet away from my feet! This was on May 18th.
It wasn't far from the house, but well hidden from view
until you approached the edge of the ravine. Glen
decided not to run the chainsaw after all. We checked later
and the fawn was gone. We've now learned that does
frequently park their fawns in hiding like this for hours
at a time, while they forage. They then return, nurse the baby, and move it to another location.
Roger spotted the doe and fawn again on June 11th. They were
strolling past the white pines heading for the sidewalk.
The fawn made another appearance in our neighbor's yard on
June 15th. It's growing.
