@MamaWick I just asked Google a question and it appears we may have missed our window of opportunity. I can't believe not a single doe from "our herd" has given birth. What's wrong with those bucks?

Resulting fawns are born over a two-week period in late April or early May, just when the coastal prairie landscape is exploding in vegetation fueled by the late-winter and early spring rains that normally fall on the region.Jun

Oh my goodness! Look at those cute little guys eating carrots out of your hand @MamaWick!

I wonder if the guys decide to come at different times then the does?

Whoever comes though, it is always so wonderful to see them

and of course your sweet little girl Cricket too!

MamaWick, you take such great photos of the deer, there are a few in this batch which stand out. They truly are nature photos fit for a magazine as I have said before. We can see how the buck's antlers are growing when they were shedding only a short time ago. It is uplifting to see these gentle creatures in the tall grass, gather in groups, just enjoying their safe haven.

@Kachina624 The birthing period where I am usually ends around the end of June, so I'm not disheartened...yet. Just because the fawns aren't in my yard doesn't mean they aren't around. Mamas hide them for a few weeks before bringing them out to their adoring public.

@Yahooey They are very gentle when taking from my hand.

MamaWick,

My dear brother had your extraordinary nature when it comes to caring for wildlife and feral life.

He had a ranch (as well as a home) in Nevada.

After first arriving at the ranch, he discovered that there was a colony of feral cats and dogs a couple miles from him. Immediately he got into action.

No matter how hot the day, he'd haul food and water out to those animals. The dishes were huge and had what I will call a moat around them so that red ants could not get into the water and food bowls. The dry food came in heavy bags.

When I watched him tend to these animals that had been dropped in the burning desert during the financial meltdown of 2008, I loved his nature even more.

It takes a special soul to respond so generously to animals as you do -- and as he did.

Thank you for being who you are.

Gorgeous photos!

@MamaWick - What a great start to the week! Love Cricket with her sleepy eyes. And, those handsome bucks - surely a doe could not refuse those looks, lol. Thank you!

@MamaWick What wonderful pictures! Love seeing them. Your new plants remind me of the buck antlers!

You have your own petting zoo. Is that another home being built? It looks like the foundation has been newly poured. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought that that area was being left wild. I'm probably confused. 😊

Woofs and gentle kisses to sweet Cricket. She always looks so comfortable and adorable. 💕

@luvzchiz Yes, another new house behind us to the right, next to the house directly behind us. Also, two houses being built across the street from us.

The lot on the left side of us as you look at our house is the only one that will not be built on and left green. Even the lot to the right of us will eventually be built on when those owners retire in a few years.

The land values here have skyrocketed, yet are being snapped up. The value of our lot, at 0.19 acres, jumped from 13k to 35k! It is wild.
