We entertain visitors

or perhaps they entertain us.

Mature deer seem most likely to come by at dawn.


 
There's something among the sparse grass they find edible.

 
On a rainy afternoon, a younger generation shows up, oblivious to observers inside windows.

This island is home to far too many deer. They serve as a vector for Lyme-infected ticks which are an ever present hazard. A short fall deer hunting season does little to keep the population down.

But for us from the big cities, sharing the land with them has a superficial charm.
