Tuesday evening, I was sitting at the computer watching the three kittens playing in front of the barn. I love watching them play their kitten games. They got tired and disappeared back into the barn.
A few minutes later I saw two young deer come bounding out of the corn field. They came out onto the freshly mown lawn. Like the youngsters they are, they were playing on the lawn. They continued down the lawn toward a large flock of grackles that had landed there to rest and feed. Finally the deer approached too closely for the birds’ comfort. As one, the birds took to wing. The deer panicked and they ran back toward the corn field.
I would loved to have captured that scene on video. Unfortunately, light conditions in that directions were not good.
The two deer came back farther onto the lawn and a few minutes later something in the neighborhood frightened them. In a flash, they ran into the corn field and were lost from view.
Auntie E, They sure do go crazy in the fall. I have the repair bills to prove it.
Denesa, We have 11 acres here in the country. It's a great place to be if you like peace and nature. City stuff requires a drive.
Lin, I'll post something soon.
FishHawk, Of course I am.
Mhar, I only wish I could have got video of the deer and the grackles startling each other.
Jill, Deer are frequent visitors.
Ratty, They are neat. And the things they do can be funny. Like people . . .
I love deer sightings. It's always so exciting when they come around so unexpectedly.
I am glad you were able to capture this. I love wild life!
This is just so awesome 🙂 Wonderful capture.
Mharms
You're just flat out teasing now.
Those are lovely deer, Chuck, and I appreciate the photo but….where are the kitten photos???!
Nice place that you are staying in. I live in a city and it will be a dream to see any deers in my vicinity.
Tis the season for the dear to start running more. Nice lens catch.
