A Common Sight


Today they served dinner outside, and a young buck and three doe were curious and came to see what was going on. At one point someone started laughing boisterously, a noise I would have thought would startle the deer, but one just go more curious and came closer to investigate, eventually getting too close. I snapped this picture after the fact while walking back to one of the "lodges" just to show this common sight in Holden. When a black bear comes by, though, they get scared/chased out of the village immediately. A black bear was looking through the garbage cans on the porch in the background earlier this week. However, no food is allowed in outside garbage, and an electric fences "guards" the compost piles outside the village.
