Saturday's Critters

 Let's catch up on the critters, shall we? Saturday's Critters # 475 <= thanks to Eileen for hosting!

Do you remember the poor fawn with the wrecked up foot? This was Dec., 2023.

She is still hanging in.

I found an in image of one with a similar injury a few years back, just like the injury back in December. Their legs seem so fragile. This was from another year, I'm having trouble dating it. 

Down by the frogpond...

The first image I inserted in the video dates from prior to the snowfall – to give you an idea of the snowfall! Richard Deer, doe.

These are hungry times! This was a Jeopardy clue the other day: "women come and go / talking of _______ !" 

Chad Coyote comes and goes from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.

We have young bucks, who look like triplets. We've a doe who had another set this past year. The males leave their mother, while the does hang out together. One buck has lost one antler, I'm still looking to see if his buddies have lost theirs. It is interesting the other two have not. Same environment, habitat, weather and climate, different hormone strengths.

Richard was sitting under the tree at 7:30 in the morning, chewing his cud, for a long time. Taken through the kitchen window, he sat in shelter under the tree in the snow. Jan. 20/23

Caitlin came up with the title:

Two males, Richard and another (young) buck. They are playful with one another.

Hello Jenn, I'm back after a long break. I love seeing the deer, you are so fortunate to see them on your property.You have so much snow that it must be difficult for them to survive the winter. I like how you give your creature visitors names.
Have a great weekend.

It amazes me to see what trials wild animals survive.

A fisher! Wow! I've seen them in zoos.
