Over two decades ago in the early morning on 136th Ave. E. I witnessed a faun panic and run across the road into a gate so hard it snapped the faun’s neck, killing it.  Fortunately it did not hit one of the children who caused it to panic, because both the child and the deer would have been seriously injured. Below are pictures from a couple of our newest Neighborhood Cameras, which show deer and people “going to work” just after 0630hrs.  In the pictures below we see one little guy seemingly waiting patiently for a break in traffic to cross the road. In the bottom three pictures we see two other deer heading south on 136th Ave. E. along with the traffic.  Let’s be careful – for the sake of the deer and ourselves.

Teri Seymour reports that she saw two does and their fauns today, and sent us these pictures.

Teri Seymour was up early this morning and caught this picture of the sunrise.  I present it here for your enjoyment.

This morning I was up at 5:40AM and saw one of the resident deer in my back yard.  It is now 12:10PM and he is still there. He has been grazing on my shrubs and apple trees.  This deer is one of two which I have seen the past and I am hoping that nothing has happened to the other one.

A friend of mine is towing gliders for the Civil Air Patrol glider program at Epharata Municipal Airport. This program teaches Civil Air Patrol Cadets to fly gliders. These are some of the pictures he sent to me.
