Three Whitetail Deer in our Backyard
As I was walking back to the house from feeding Henry, I spotted these three deer who already had me in their sights.
I started whistling a tune; and, instead of running, they really perked up and paid attention, remaining motionless while I kept coming up the driveway, went up on and across the porch, and then inside, leaving the door open.
I kept whistling; the deer never moved.
I grabbed the appropriate camera and discovered the batteries were dead; that camera stays connected to the GPS satellites even when it is laying on the shelf and it had been a couple weeks since I had changed the batteries.
I kept whistling.
I quickly swapped in a fresh battery cartridge --- times like this are when my idea to obtain several spare battery grip cartridges really pays off.
I kept whistling.
Back in the open doorway and the deer are still right there where I left them.
I took these photos standing in the open doorway.
There are three sizes of deer here; the one in the center is quite the larger; the one on photo right is the smallest; and, the one at left is in between.
I suspect they may be mother, last years daughter, and this years daughter.
In a bit, they shifted their attention from me to something out of my view to the South-West; my right - their left.
At first I thought it might be more deer; but then, whatever it was, they decided to abandon the scene.
Here is what Kidadl and Wikipedia have to say about them.
