Just last night, I saw a doe and buck just off the road grazing. They hardly moved as I drove by.

When I first moved down here (about 4 decades ago), we used to see them regular and in groups. Not so much these days. I guess the population is beginning to drive them away. It is a shame. I enjoy watching them, especially when they have one or two young ones with them.

There are still enough of them we need to keep an eye out for them, although I do believe the deer are becoming wise to the autos.

On the other hand, if you want to count the squirls, I see them about every day. I have to be ready to hit the brake. The things get out in the middle of the street. Then when they see me coming, they stop and can’t figure out which way to go whilst I wait for them to make up their minds.

Obviously, we do see birds now and then. I have even seen the squirls chase the birds or visa versa.

Regardless, I would like to be able to watch the deer now and then. Unfortunately, there was nowhere for me to pull the car over. Besides, I think if I had stopped, it would have scared them off.
