doe a deer, and the fawns

 You must forgive me all the videos of Clover and the fawns. Too soon they will go from lovely, bouncy  bespeckled fawns to yearlings, and lose their spots. Although, this is September, 2013 (below), so we have awhile. 


By October (2012) they are beginning to lose their spots. They liked the ball!

The yearlings seem to be fuzzier in winter than the adults. (Jan., 2014)

I've two trailcams near one another. You can see the deer traveling past cam #1, then coming back across cam #2 (27 sec.)! deer aug 2  

 

And, in the front yard, doe and twins are hanging about. doe twin fawns Aug 5  

   

On Friday, I decided to clear out some weeds from in front of the trailcam. It's a high traffic area for critters, and a good spot to watch for them. Afterwards there was a black squirrel, and Olive and her fawn. forest trimming 


I put an apple or two out for the deer. They liked them. The fawns bounced out of the frame, and come bouncing back again! The deerflies are horrid in the forest. doe fawns Aug. 5  

 


This doe was being mercilessly attacked by the deerflies. I didn't realize the bugs are out at night. doe selfies 

 


Just for fun, I slowed this one down. bird or a plane?  

    

This afternoon begins week 35, and the last week for Gramma Camp. We will miss them, and certainly enjoyed having them in our bubble since March Break 2020. They are seeing their other grandparents, who are looking forward to that.

No doubt you will miss Grandma Camp, but I guess the deer will hang around to brighten your days.

Gee Whizz, Jenn, can your ride on mower go slower? Loved the black squirrel, and those fawns and the spots, like all, the fawns will grow into adults.

You will have a busy week ahead to get in all the fun you will be missing later! ;-)
