  • Last evening we had a bobcat come thru the yard around 630 pm but I didn’t have my phone in hand to catch it but the deer went to blowing then chased it off blowing and charging at it.
    Then at 320am I had a small cub. Didn’t see the momma but it lingered for 15 minutes before going back into the tree line. (Nextdoor White Path)
  • These ladies are about ready to have babies.
    Obviously the one looks like triplets on the way. She’s the one that had triplets last year. Sure excited. (Nextdoor White Path)
