more on wildlife in great barrington

suddenly, like so fast, two deer come running and charging across our path from the open fence doors on the farm field to the left.
the deer are running like crazy as fast they possibly can to get across the street and over to the wooded graze on the right... the sheep in the distance are sooooo loud..... baaaahhh!!!!!
something is happening ... within the animal field of perception... had we actually lived near the animals, it would only be a matter of time before we could probably have known what was causing such a chorus of baahing and excitement.

i look over to the left sensing more animals to come forth. and sure enough, an adorable entourage of 6 younger deer, wanting to cross in front of us as did their leaders, but they were too frightened of us humans, so they turned away from the road after a few moments taking in the situation, eventually deciding to run away in another direction. they will surely meet up with their parents or leaders later on...

always a sign when a wild animal is presented to us... with the deer we are looking at that kind of instinctive hesitancy, to avoid possible danger, and the need for protection in open fields........and to have allies.....

:)

so interesting is the contact with any wild life......
