You pose good questions with no easy answers. I feel a pang for the deer...

Your photos and footage have been so cool all along. I’m sure there will be more. The owls are talking about ya

Were the fawns rescued?

Maggs consulted with someone..from what we can tell the fawns are old enough to survive without milk. Maggie found some nutrient rich deer food that was recommended and put it out there, which they seem to be enjoying. It’s also possible a lactating deer will adopt them. Your daughter has the biggest heart. ♥️😕

Dear Molly, I so feel ya. Feel the dear darling deer. So brave and tough. I grieve, fearing my sweetest girlfriend may have died.

I just came in from watching the owls, all three on the branch, seeming to be going nowhere. The place all alive with owl skrawkings, bats swirling, and crickets shimmering. Then --- another owl! A fourth owl circling all around, making the click-click-click-click call, while the three on the branch skrawked. Wow!!

I tried to look up the owl-to-English dictionary. Not so clear what was going on. But at the time, it looked like the fourth is just looking for opportunity, seeing if somebody wants to rumble.
