THE USUAL SUSPECTS

Despite 2 1/2" of rain in the past 24 hours, the trail cam took 480 photos of visitors to the HRD; by and large, it was the usual guests.  Many turkeys in several flocks, with varying amounts of poults, are here even during the heaviest of rainfall.

Peg seems to come around early morning or late evening, or both.  I doubt that she ventures too far away. 

 She refuses to allow me to get close to her though, which is okay.
I think she'd be dead were it not for the HRD, so I'm just glad she found it, and us.    It seems that she is doing okay ... at least it appears that all her bodily functions are , ahem... working...
 
Meanwhile, Annie and the fawn are regulars several times daily, on their travels.  There is a large, safe meadow to our south, and they are often seen grazing there and on the natural vegetation of the woods around us.
I was amazed at how quickly Annie changed color... I wonder what that means?   Typically, the darker colors are found in deep woods.  But nothing has been 'typical' with nature, of late. There has been evidence of raccoon activity in the wee hours of the morning, but no sight of any bears.  The most interesting picture I saw on the trail cam from last night however, was the unexpected visit from a moonbeam.  "Beam me up, Scotty"♥ ...
