On Sunday afternoon, the Husband and I took an out-of-town friend on a drive down some of the country lanes in our county. On Comstock Road, we came across a bunch of deer hanging out at the end of the road. Interestingly, the three males standing on the road were separated from the four females by a wire fence. The females were grazing on the grass. It looked like the males were saying to them, "You've got it going on."
As we drove closer, two males ran across the street and up the hill, while the third jumped the fence and nonchalantly walked pass the females. The ladies? They stood their ground, munching away at the grass as they kept an eye on us.
Today, I'm hooking up with Our World Tuesday. Click on the link to check out photos and posts from other parts of the world.
hm, wonder if it was coincidence or some gendered grazing pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think it was coincidence. It could also be that the guys were trying to sweet talk their way into getting some of that grass. LOL
DeleteThe males were probably just stupid and didn't find the grazing grounds? Was the fence there to protect the wildlife from crossong the street? In Europe that is the case along busy streets - but then it wouldn't be so easy for the deers to jump?!
ReplyDeleteWhatever - nice pictures.
Thanks. The owners most likely put up the fence to keep us, humans, from tresspassing on their property.
DeleteThat is some lovely deers. Loved to see them. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was my second time of seeing deer that week. I was very fortunate. :-)
DeleteI really like your first photo of the deer! Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
