Triple Treat

Easter Sunday yielded a pleasant surprise. The 1st sighting of 6 deer on the 8th fairway of the golf course was at 5:45a.m. A loop around Greenhill Pond & back to the front nine and lo & behold the 6 deer were back, this time on the 1st fairway about a half-hour after the previous sighting. They scampered off into the woods along the trail that follows the westerly periphery of Green Hill Park. Following the trail & noting that the deer were out in front, the best was yet to come. A trailside staredown of approximately 10-12 seconds in duration with the 6 deer no more than 40' away. It doesn't get any better than this living in the city with wildlife being this close to home!
