Nice photos! There are deer running around down here. Here's a funny. In
2007 my mother was in the den and I was reading in the bedroom. In
mid-afternoon a herd of deer went running across the back yard. We met in
the middle of the house, each of us exclaiming "Did you see that?!" Yeah,
we saw that! They're usually only seen around dawn or dusk. You certainly
don't see a whole herd of them running across the lawn in the middle of the
day. LOL
Canada geese aren't seen much down here. There are lots of snowy egrets,
herons, ibises and the occasional stork. Sometimes even a pelican
Red-tailed hawks are abundant and they're huge birds... one landed out back
and just sat there. I said, Mom, look! There's a hawk! It was just
sitting there. Resting, I guess, after a hard day of trying to find mice
and squirrels to eat. It a large bird. When it did take off the wingspan
was fantastic. And the talons on it, eeek! Hawks are a good reason to keep
cats indoors.
