Hurry home, bucky!

We were away for an anniversary trip, more on that later. (I'm still curating photos!) As we drove up the driveway at home, I spotted a buck. This photo is through the windshield!



Then, JB opened huis window.


Later, about 5:30, I looked out in the side yard, and there was the buck, still hanging about.


I grabbed my camera and headed up the drive. I thought I'd change the position of the trailcam. There he was! He came towards me, a bit. Then thought better of it.


He is a frequent visitor!

Sadly, Friday morning the smaller of these two younger bucks were killed by a car in front of our house. They came by around 10 a.m. to remove the body.

 Just before we left, the turkeys were out and about!

They ventured down to the meadow, apparently! Ever vigilant, of course!

    It is so sad when an animal gets killed by accident, but they did come and take his body away, far better than leaving it there. Hope all the others stay off the road.
