While we are very curious about the creatures in these parts, some of them seem fairly curious about the strange thing we’ve introduced in their world. Witness:
This Axis doe just hasn’t quite figured out what this thing on the tree is…
It feels as if the deer are right there in front of us, interacting with our odd two-leggedness and (apparently) very strange smell!
We were so excited to see this gray fox! I had never seen a fox before this, so it was thrilling to check the critter-cam videos and discover visits by this beautiful creature. In the heat of summer 2012, we put buckets of water out for whoever was thirsty. Both the white-tailed and the Axis deer took advantage of the temporary oasis and, as you can see, so did the gray fox. If you have the sound turned on, you may be able to hear it lapping up the water! Kinda makes me want to put buckets out everywhere!
