Bambi's in the backyard

There have been two sighting. A mother deer and her twin fawns. The first time I saw them it was about 10 am and I was making some coffee. I looked out the kitchen window to see a little spotted fawn in the backyard with it's twin. I really noticed them because they were frolicking yes frolicking, jumping for joy to just be in a wide open space (my backyard) where they could run and jump. And besides there are some tasting things (aruugh!) to chew on... They were so cute and little.
I scanned the backyard and spotted the mother deer off to the right near the entrance to the woods. I went out onto the screened in porch to look and the mother started to lead them away into the woods.
About a week later there they were again. It was almost noon and they were in the backyard. I wanted to take a picture but the camera was not in sight. I ran around the house looking for it. No luck. They started to walk up the driveway. I poked my head out the front door and the mother deer and I shared a moment staring at each other. I didn't have the camera and missed my opportunity to show them to you . Maybe they will show up again and this time I'll get a picture.
Today I read an opinion piece in the Courant about a guy who got lyme disease. He goes on to talk about the large deer population in CT this year. Apparently the cold weather this winter somehow made both the deer and the deer tick population thrive. I've noticed that now I see deer not only on the side of the wooded road I live off of but sometimes just standing in the middle of the road in midday staring at me and not running off. I've seen a lot of youngsters. They have also really been eating the plants surrounding my house. I dread hitting one again and have even seen some dead ones on Route 95. In PA where I grew up there were more deer killed on our interstate than by hunters each year. As much as I enjoy Bambi and his mom and brother visiting, I do see problems ahead for living with so many deer in a shrinking amount of woody habitat for them.
