Deer in my yard - DinerDave - 03-08-2009
I haven't seen them at dusk, but for about a week now every morning about 7-7:30 we have had hoard of deer wandering in our back yard. While we commonly have a bunny family each year, the occasional fox, and other wild life, we have not had a quantity like this before, and not on a regular basis either. Where our property ends is a 20-30 ft drop to protected wetlands and a stream that has a lot of beaver activity, there must be something that lures the deer up. They shy away from the house, content to wander between the pool/deck area and the end of the yard. It certainly looks awesome to see them out there!
Not sure if "hoard" is the right term, but we count 15 deer, sounds like a hoard to me!

Since I'm DinerDave, not PhotoDave, I'll get pictures, and get one of my kids to figure out how to upload.
Stay tuned.

Herd, leash, or mob of deer
a Bevy of roe deer
and a colony or family of beavers
I once had a book of nothing but collective terms. Some STRANGE stuff in there!
