More Whitetails

I couldn’t resist posting more Whitetail photos. These are of a young doe and her last summer’s fawn who stopped by to visit this morning.

Where did it go?

This Whitetail doe was meandering along in the burn area of the Copper King fire with her head down, sniffing the ground. I suspect she was searching for a favorite trail that no longer exists. The photo was taken in the northeastern part of the burn, along USFS road 887 about three miles up Todd Creek.

Off the air for awhile

Tomorrow the ‘puter is going in for a tune-up and I will be off the air for a few days (or less with any luck). Finally ran into a problem I can’t fix myself so now it’s up to the Apple specialists at the Geek Squad. While I will miss the online world and all of my friends there our back yard visitors will provide plenty of entertainment.

Something nice about living away from the cities is the quality of those who visit, like these who visited today. The little Whitetail was born last summer, possibly in the small canyon off to the side of our house. The turkeys (and eight of their friends) have been daily visitors all winter. These aren’t great photos, but they were taken from our back door while we waited for the wildlife to mosey on up the hill so we could go out without frightening them.

Bedded down

Sometimes it feels good to just lie around and relax on a summer afternoon.

A visitor today

There are a couple of does that I think live in our little canyon, but this young fellow has just started visiting for our apples.
