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.

ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful capture Jenn! YAM xx
Now if you could just come back and do photos of the birth next week....
ReplyDeletePoor thing. I hope she delivers safely.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWow! Hope all is well with her.
ReplyDeletereminded me of my own pregnancy. :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteInteresting video Jenn! Hope all goes well with her.

Oh I hope she escapes the coyotes and delivers those babies soon. I feel for her! (Hard not to anthropomorphize.)
ReplyDeleteOh my... I hope she'll be OK. It's amazing that you can see her baby kicking. She must be close to delivering perhaps.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW ... amazing.
ReplyDeleteI do hope all goes well
All the best Jan
