I saw 2 dozen deer in my local park on Thanksgiving. I technically wasn't supposed to be there as it was closed. Since no people or cars were present they were relaxed and caught off guard. One was waiting by the road. I was glad he didn't charge me with his big ass antlers!
I read that thinking it was about wild turkeys until the word "antlers"!
When I used to live out in the boonies, I'd see quail cross the road in front of me. Once I drove around a corner and there was a covey? of quail just sitting in the middle of the road. I wasn't speeding, but I wasn't crawling along the road, either. I figured they'd fly up and take off, like crows do. I almost ran the %&$% things over with my truck and left a few skid marks. They just flat out weren't going to move. I can't believe people have to hunt them. If they want quail for supper, why not just take a car and run over them? Save some money on ammo.
I bobcat crossed a trail approx 15 feet in front of where I was standing in the woods. It didn't see me and it kept walking.
We had a cougar sighting here (southern MN) Saturday night up on the hill where the School Sisters of Notre Dame do their thing. The paper said they report a sighting there about once a year. And we're in a metro area of about 70,000. Hard to believe.
The juncos are back. They're so soft and round. The cutest little guys.
I was washing some dishes this morning when I noticed a pair of wrens picking around the ferns hanging out front. One landed on the birdbath, which was about half empty. So I filled a jug and went out to pour it into the birdbath.
Well, you'd have thought I was stealing from them! One flew around the corner of the house while the other perched in a bush right next to me, chattering at me for all he was worth! I'm pretty sure he was cursing at me in Wrennish.

Silly things!
Haha! Not used to being watered, I guess.
A few weeks ago, we bought some crusty bread that went hard as a rock after two days. We took the half-loaf and set it on the stump in the front yard. Not long after, we heard a loud THUMP THUNK THUMP on the metal roof, and I got up to see what it was. Just as I opened the front door, the half-loaf dropped onto the porch and two crows flew off in front of me. I guess our generosity wasn't appreciated.
I saw Carolina chickadees at our birdbath. Hadn't seen them around here before.
