During one of our frequent trips to the new house we saw Bambi walking around the lots in the back. This was the smallest deer I have ever seen. It could barely walk but had somehow wandered all the way from the not so nearby woods into the lots behind the house. Feeling bad about contributing to its displacement, Patty and I tried to herd it back to the woods. There were some menacing hawks flying around and Patty was pretty upset. I called wild life rescue and they gave the go ahead to pick it up. Apparently the urban legend around handling wildlife babies is a myth.
I didn't ask if it was okay to drive it around in the car while listening to house music but it seemed pretty cool about it.
We found the closest woods and carried in. After about 10 minutes I heard the mother approaching from nearby so I backed out. It should be safe until someone clears that group of trees to build another house.
