Saturday's Critters

I'll begin with a #75 report. This is the squirrel we released after rehab at our local place. I think! Proof of life, but not a great photo. He was bouncing around the yard.

I like watching the bucks. They shed their antlers in January or February around here. In spring, they begin to grow back. In the meantime...




 This is Tigger and Oliver, a cat we used to have. He had such character, following me when I took Oliver for walks. His sibling would follow a little further behind in the forest.


He great up to be a terrific buck.

Tigger, July, 2016

By August, the antlers look like this:



To give some mention to the doe, here she is. Still pregnant AFAIK!

   


 Fred is still out and about. 




 I had a video of Cinnamon for size, and then Fred (maybe miniFred?), roaring down the driveway. Those little legs! If you have time to watch, you will giggle.

I understood that in Canada, two bucks are now called Twonies.

SO cute. Makes me want to reach out and touch the fuzzy antlers. The Cinny / Fredlet race is better than the Olympics. Linda in Kansas

Tigger is the best name for that deer! I loved the photos. Your garden, sigh!

Fred jumps along, or little Fred. Loved seeing the male deer and their antlers returning.

How neat that you have your own forest there and can see all the wildlife on your camera. Outdoors is where I love to be and I get so much joy out of seeing all the little critters in your videos....

I love Cinnamon! and as many deer as I see, I never find their antlers. I should look more closely!

You sure are surrounded by beautiful critters! They must love your property. Many thanks for the sweet comments you have left on my posts. Wish you could spend some time Seth Rebel and Buddy.

That poor doe. She must be so over being pregnant.

Watching the wild animals grow and interact is really neat.
