Pregnant deer

This is the time of year! Our Maggie, who is hanging about with her yearling twins, is a bit fragile. That said, she is pregnant. You can see the baby kicking! I think, rather than being broken, her knee is dislocated. That might explain her longevity. Hard to say. It's been bad since September, 2016, as far as I know. She's managed to evade the coyotes. They can't take down a healthy deer, but this one surely is slowed down.

Here is another one I videotaped three years ago!
Usually, the deer are few and far between in spring, having gone to their summer yards. This could be the same one! We have had one female hang about all summer.

    I saw a deer a few years ago that had obviously broken it's leg but the leg had healed and knitted. The leg was much deformed.

    Oh I hope she escapes the coyotes and delivers those babies soon. I feel for her! (Hard not to anthropomorphize.)

    Oh my... I hope she'll be OK. It's amazing that you can see her baby kicking. She must be close to delivering perhaps.
