Dog aren't the only wild things around here.

Yesterday morning, I counted 13 deer just over my back fence line. Actually, there were 14, but the last one, I never saw just heard him. It is a baby braying from under a clump of pinion and scrub pines. Mom must have put him there to stay safe while the rest of group finished eating. From the amount of noise he was making, I'd say he was not happy with the arrangement.

This is the largest group I have ever seen here. All winter, we had a group of eight that dined on my husband's archery targets until the hay bales collasped.

And lately, it has been a group of 4 or 5 that show up in the evenings.

But 14, that is a record.

I wonder what I will see today.
