I took so many photographs but am so 'blonde', I am unable to post. I'll ask Char if she will post some for me. He has now moved and I will not be able to see our 'family' of deers again. I think about them, hoping they remain safe from the nearby traffic.
There were the two large ones (mummy and daddy) and three others, including a baby one, we watched grow bigger. Deer are so beautiful and should be watched for on the roads. I know they can be a danger to humans but IMO humans are certainly a danger to them!
Pam, your photos are so cute! :)

Aw thanks -would love to see your photos!! I love wildlife photos. I can PM you instructions...but prolly it would be much easier for you, if you would just dye your hair RED!!! hehe Sorry but I just couldn't let that one slip on by!!

Another neat thing about the herd in my yard: heard some commotion one night and ran upstairs, looked out the bedroom window and right below...couldn't believe my eyes...a buckfight! That was AMAZING!!

Oh I feel bad to have left out my many reptilian and amphibious visitors! Of the latter...well one of my hanging plants, which hung from a lampost was lopsided. I went to adjust it and it wouldn't. Took it down and low and behold...there she was! The most beautiful fat toad I ever did see!

I removed her from the plant and placed her on the deck - which was actually closer to the light, so she could catch more insects/bugs. She liked in there! We hung out for a few weeks!

Re: Just hit a deer while ago. Questions about insurance

My sister & her husband got hit by a deer recently, and the first thought I had in my mind was " did they get to take it home & put it int the freezer?" Turns out the thing survived but they had to get a rental car until it got repaired. It ran around $2000 to fix it(the car that is).

Re: Just hit a deer while ago. Questions about insurance

My favorite sight on the side of the road is a car in worse shape than the deer. I am sure people drive along the highway here and see those signs with the jumping deer and wonder why those stupid highway people in Colorado would put up a sign like that. They don't pay attention to the speed limit, not a surprise they wouldn't pay attention to the signs warning of deer crossings. Since we put a highway right in the middle of their feeding ground.
I am with you Kathy. I took a coyote to the vet once, somebody hit it and left it dying on the highway. He had lost so much blood that they couldn't help him. We have some wonderful rehab centers here for wildlife, he just wasn't able to be one of the attendees.

i asked her about it, and she said that they watched it while they waited for the police, and were surprised to watch it just calmly walk away, grazing the whole time. So, apparently "Bambi" and it's family came out of it allright for a change.
