Love is in the air!

Now...other than watching them graze through our yard constantly, I have never witnessed the "mating rituals" of the deer. But this week, well I thought I was going to have to call the girls to the window for a nature lesson!


I don't know a whole lot, I think it has something to do with the female leaving her scent, and then the young buck walks to that spot and sniffs around, holding his nose at a funny angle.

I am not sure if the tail up is an invitation!

This was the next day, and a BIGGER buck was out...chasing anything without horns!

Aren't animals fun to watch? I'd like to have a back yard like that!
