Wildlife

Something like summer came! It hit 27C/80F today - it's 10pm and the windows are still open, yes!

I went out with a hosepipe to water some plants at sunset. Watched a bobcat stalk a doe and her fawn. Mama deer led the fawn deeper into the trees, then came back and strode right towards the bobcat, who wisely decided to leave, up the hill.

I like living here :-)

"who wisely decided to leave"

:)

So glad you are enjoying both beautiful weather and beautiful, sassy wild animals ❤️

The bobcat was rather comprehensively out-weighed, and probably didn't want to be kicked!

Hope you're still getting to enjoy some of the same :-)

Watching wildlife is a wonderful past time. I'm hoping the doe and/or her two fawns will revisit us this summer. The two little neighbor girls said they saw six deer a few weeks ago near our front yard.

You seem to have quite a variety of critters to watch. As the weather warms toward summer, maybe more will come out?

Oh, I think they always come out. I think in summer I spend more time where I might see them, and also the nights are shorter, so the nocturnal ones can't stick entirely to the black of night!

Ooh, bobcats--what a sight that must have been! Yeah, mama deer can be FIERCE. One time I accidentally almost walked right into one in the middle of the night and it made the most terrifying shriek at me before taking off with the kids.

LOL, you and the deer probably scared each other about the same amount!
