The walk-in barn: my favorite lunch spot on my shift at Belmont.

That’s not a deer
The wildlife camera took a thousand pictures over three weeks in June. We were looking for shots of the deer eating the snowball flowers. Only just noticed this one. Red-shouldered hawk? Hawks have often nested in our tall trees and we hear their screaming regularly, but don’t as often see them clearly, or near the ground.
Deer, front door camera
6:30 Thursday morning, May 18th. Previously we’ve only seen occasional distant shadows in the wee hours. Photo probably taken minutes after some miscreant decimated Sandy’s new annabelle hydrangea.
