Critters

It was a banner morning to see critters today. I walked outside and saw the hen turkey that’s been hanging around. Of course she was too fast for me to take a picture of her. I walked a bit more and saw the illusive new calf which has been hidden by it’s mother

 

It was sitting by a tree, but it’s mother was in the background eyeing me all the time.

           

She was not happy that I was nearby annoying her baby. She made a very slight move, and soon the baby got up and started walking toward her.  When the baby got close, momma mooed really loud and headed in the opposite direction.          

They ended up on the other side of the pond, where I could not bother the them. 

Momma is very protective, as she needs to be. The calf is 2.5 days old.

The last set of critters were deer. Deer are not common in my neck of the woods as I’ve seen less than a handful of deer in all the years I’ve lived here. If you stretch out this picture, you will see 2 deer in the background. I’m wondering what brought them into our vicinity. I hope there’s not a problem?
