A baby deer was born here yesterday. It is so cute! It’s the size of a small dog and can already run through the grass. It follows the mother deer, who is alert and watchful as she grazes. Sometimes she settles her baby in the grass, and the fawn stays put while the mother continues to eat. Mama keeps looking back, to be sure her baby is safe.
I also saw a pair of California quail yesterday pecking in the grass near one of my feeders. I keep four bird feeders full each day and have a variety of birds but these were the first quail I’ve seen here. My father used to put out seed for the quail when we lived in California so these beautiful birds always make me think of him.
I don’t watch much television. I don’t need to – Mother Nature puts on a wonderful show outside my windows every day.
