I have two new video compilations of the Axis deer as captured by our “crittercam.” These animals are so lovely. I’m always delighted to review the videos on the camera and discover that we’ve had a visitation.

The first of these new videos is full of bucks with various sizes of antlers, ending with a really big deer with huge antlers. You may notice the “velvet” on the horns of one or two. We’ve noticed tree trunks where they rub the fuzz off their antlers.

The second video was filmed this morning. This is quite a handsome group–a couple of bucks, a spike buck, and several does. And for the first time, the camera caught one of the bucks rubbing his antlers on the trunk of a persimmon tree that has been well rubbed. Cool, huh.

This second one I call “An Admiration” because that’s what it is–just a seeing and an admiring.

Special. Wonderful. Amazing. Beautiful. *Sigh*
