Resident Deer Herd

I took lots of pictures, wish I knew how to do the slide show thing, but here's a preview. There's about a dozen of these deer that "hang" around here.
This might be "Bambi" from earlier this summer. They almost all look alike. However their spots are fading, interesting to see some with all their spots, some with spots on the hips and some are already turned gray.

This photo shows some great comparions to the "spot "change.


Doe and her two fawns. If a fawn who doesn't belong to her approaches, she will strike out with front leg to push them away.



This doe is sheding her summer coat, turning gray for the winter. I think she is a "dry doe", one who has no fawns.





This is "Bucky" The does are starting to tolerate him more these days and with cooler weather just around the corner, the mating season will be on.
