Forest was Alive

by patgullett on August 30, 2008

Yesterday, while Dave worked on rebuilding our deck that we discovered was built with untreated wood, out trotted 3 deer. One with antlers, one young female, and a spotted fawn prancing & leaping, all headed towards our apple trees. They weren’t timid with us being right there, 20 feet away. They hung around, in & out of the forest, for the better part of the day. Then a yellow chested Marmot wandered out, eating his way over to our apples also. Cute, big like a woodchuck, with a black mask face, striped body, black furry tail. We did look this up in our Ct. animals resource. At the end of the day, with the garage doors open, an iridescent green hummingbird flew into the window area, and couldn’t find the way out! He kept flying into the window. With some gentle guidance with a broom, we got him into a bucket, clamped a cardboard on the bottom, and took it far out into the yard. He laid there, and we thought maybe he had a heart attack or something, but finally saw him blink. After a few moments, he stood up, and flew off to live another day.
