They're everywhere. Our first night here, we took a walk on our road (seeking nonexistent cell phone service) and heard a big rustling in the woods. It was just too dark to see but we could hear several deer rush out onto the road, the clatter of their hooves making us wonder if anything was the matter. They just moved off into the nearby field, a regular path and hangout for the local deer. We see tracks all over the place as they will walk past our cabin to drink from the creek.
On a quiet, foggy day, a deer wandered around our property, eyeing us through the windows, preventing me from grabbing the camera early enough to snap a better shot than the one above.
In the first week, we saw a deer almost every day, though fewer since. We also see plenty of woodchucks, and spotted a rarer wild turkey. We're now trying to attract birds and butterflies with some ornamental plants, having seen some stunning goldfinches in the area.
