So much wildlife has been stirring around the suburban ranch this week, it feels like Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom! My sister and I came back from an errand to find a deer and her two fawns eating in the backyard. This is very unusual — there are deer everywhere here, but I've never seen one in my neighborhood, let alone my yard! My camera was in the back seat of the car. By the time I reached for it, they were gone.
The other night I went out to water the plants on the deck and found two little lizards crawling around inside the canna. Of course they scurried away within a second.
But last night was the best: I saw a hummingbird flying around one of the plants. It stayed for what seemed like minutes. I stood absolutely still … as soon as I made a move for the camera on the kitchen table, it was over. Guess you'll just have to take my word for it!
