The Herd

There was a herd of deer visiting this morning. I counted 9 in all, with two bucks in the mix and proudly showing their velvet covered antlers -

A couple came up from the pond area, while the others came out of the overgrowth along the 11e fence line. Many were frolicking, running and jumping, and chasing one another -

They eventually ran off towards the back end of the property -

The most I’d seen visiting prior was 4, so I was very surprised to see 9. They looked at home.
