Fawn

Well, it’s been a busy time around the pond of late. A great blue heron flew in during early afternoon–its 4th visit to our humble little hideaway. It landed at the back of the pond and circumnavigated the periphery. It spent an hour on the island, eventually flying to within about 15 ft of the porch. It then gave a demonstration of its fishing prowess by whacking a small bass and taking it down in one gulp. Didn’t even leave a tip. It’s now continuing its murderous rampage at the back of the pond. Since my lovely bride requires all local fauna to be given the dignity of a name, it has been christened Harry. I guess it’s going to have to live with that. She didn’t ask. Several small herds of deer have dropped by, including a young buck dubbed Daryl Deer by her nibs. There is also the possibility that Daryl is, instead, Darylle. Again, she didn’t ask. I guess he/she will have to find out for him/herself during next rutting season. To further complicate things, we aren’t even sure that Daryl is the same guy (?) that was here last summer. Daryl 1.0 or Daryl 2.0? Who knows?
We were treated to our first fawn of the season yesterday. A tiny little thing no more than a week old. It became infatuated with a stand of ferns near the edge of the pond. It was barely a couple of inches taller than the smallest fern so only its head was partially visible most of the time. Mom finally tired of its shenanigans and hurried it along. We rounded out the day with the splash down of a flight of 6 geese at sunset. It’s a good two weeks after migration season. I guess they didn’t get the memo. Someone should tell them that that’s how the dinosaurs got into trouble.
