| Adolescent robin at the edge of the pond
A mother robin had built a mud nest in the lower branches of one spruce tree at the end of our driveway. There were 4 beautiful eggs in it and she successfully raised all 4 robins there without alerting any of our cats to their presence. Those were the stillest, quietest birds I have ever seen! They knew when 'danger' was nearby and did not move or make a peep anytime I was watering my tubs of flowers nearby.
I like to think that some of the robins that we see in the yard now were those four. :)

Mama deer and Fawn
One morning last week I was looking out the kitchen window when I spotted a brown movement. There was a female deer and also a tiny fawn in the shrubs behind our property. The deer often give birth to their young here in this quiet, safe area.
It was so thrilling to be a part of this!

| Mama deer and newborn fawn |
The coyotes are quite active right now, brazenly coming into our yard, close to the house in the early mornings. One of our neighbours said that when she was out walking her dog a few days ago, she saw some coyotes approaching a fawn who had become separated a little distance from its mother. Our neighbour yelled and waved her arms and the coyotes backed off. The mother deer was able to get to her baby.
