Animalia Updatia
Jul. 14th, 2007 03:46 pmDeb saw a badger. Since we don't live in the southwest, Mexico, or central Canada (where they're nearly extinct), and we don't think the little bits of meadow we have qualify as their natural prairie habitat, and because the looks didn't quite convince us, Justin and I believe the critter was a groundhog.
A little bit later Deb spotted two deer - not quite together, not quite apart - both with fuzzy fat antlers. The first had a smallish 6 points spanning maybe 15-20", the second had 3-4" stubs. Well, Deb spotted the first deer, the second wasn't found until later, although it might have been the one Justin saw - she swore she saw a buck, and Justin saw a doe, so that works out roughly with the different headgear they were wearing.
