Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

I was an hundred feet away.  A car in the oncoming lane flushed a deer five feet in front of it coming from his other side.  It dashed into the field scared like someone or something was chasing it.  I slowed down.  Sometimes when a deer crosses the road there may be one or more behind it so you have to drive slowly and carefully.  Not this time, though.  The deer vanished quickly into the safety of the open field and woods.

Last night I flushed three fawns who vanished into the field.  They may have been triplets.  I did not see their mom anywhere but I am sure she was nearby.  I had never seen triplets before.  I never know exactly what I will flush along that road although I see deer less often there than the other way I have to go into town.  The juxtaposition of animals with people always amazes me.
