RE: Mule Deer, Baby Osprey, Howitzers and West Coast Baseball.... Must be TreeTuesday!
This kind of stuff probably happens on your street too.
If Bambi's Mum showed up on my street if would cause a sensation @keithboone. There would be experts out trying to catch it as it would have escaped from some deer park miles away.
Questions would be asked about how she had managed to travel so far without being spotted previously and without getting mown down by the traffic.
I have never seen trees carved up to make room for power lines either.
Different worlds @keithboone Different worlds! 😂
I'm sure it's quite different. Vancouver Island has a large deer population. Regarding the deer and traffic - these deer are very intelligent and have learned to adapt. Cars and trucks are their only natural predators in this neighbourhood.
This particular little family of deer made the front page of the local newspaper last week. About one block from here there is a very busy intersection with lots of traffic. These deer were photographed crossing the intersection at a pedestrian crosswalk. They waited for the green light and calmly walked between the white lines, crossing four lanes of traffic.... and then, and I swear I'm not making this up, they waited for the light to change again and did it once more!
That's brilliant @keithboone. 😂
