Animal sightings!

One of the revelations that we had when we set up our "critter cam" in the back yard at Old House in February was that we often have deer come to the yard in the middle of the night.  We have footage of them from many nights in the winter and spring - sometimes 1, usually 2 or 3. They would eat out of the bird feeders for maybe 15 minutes and then wander away.  We've only seen them at night once since late April, but...

 Last week, Hubs saw a deer in the back yard in the late afternoon on 2 different days:



Isn't she adorable?!  She did seem to have a scar on her left side, but we think it wasn't fresh.  She might be a little under nourished too because her ribs sort of stick out.  It was exciting to see a deer in the yard during the day!

Here is a photo of some other little beasties... We've had LOTS and LOTS of bunnies this year!  We've only seen one actually IN the garden.  There was one little place at a corner where there was a gap between 2 pieces of fencing, but now that is fixed so no more bunnies eating lettuce.  However, it does seem they got to some peas through the fencing here:
