I have seen very few Fawns this year 4 Aug Coyote (1) at Far Knoll (by Laguna Conejo) at 0740 24 Mallards in Laguna Conejo, Jackrabbit at Red House My general impression now that I'm back is one of Fallen trees - DKTW, CVI, MurrF. What gives? 5 Aug I see a deer between 1500+1800 lying in the sun bobbing his head. I investigate: a Fawn from this year with head wounds r major rump, rear leg wounds. Can't walk. Mark J shoots him. Big kitty kat - but how did he escape? Val heard screams at 1500 at 10 pm last nite. Where's mom left carcass under the trees by the creek. Another general impression - the bumper crop ain't. Sure, the live oaks are finally producing, but they're not really loaded, And I've run across quite a few that are aborting. My call now is "average year." 7 Aug The rabbit that's blind in his left eye (that I saw this spring at Griffins) was up near Walt's today. 8 Aug Active brown towhee nest w eggs (3) in Tree between MRS Office - old lab. (PS - it failed, eggs never hatched)
