One of the builders told me that being up on the scaffolding while they sided allowed them to watch a doe take her two fawns back and forth through the meadow. A doe w/ one fawn I'd seen but not one w/ twins. Deer view Indy and me as threats when we walk the paths. Their tails go up and they bound away. However, deer don't think of vehicles in the same way. I was mowing the trails last night when there was a doe standing only 15 feet off the path. She stood her ground as I and the mower slowly passed. Similar to the Aztecs seeing the first mounted Spanish riders the doe was curious of the hybrid I'd become. Could be she also had a fawn hidden nearby in the meadow's tall grass and that made her reluctant to leave. She started grazing again as I drove off. At sunrise I finally saw the doe w/ twins. She was leading them down a freshly mown path and into the woods.
