As we left our room last night at about five, we saw this herd of deer just up the hill from us. There were eleven or twelve in the herd. Nate had never seen such a large herd of deer. We see them a lot in Ohio, but they tend to be in twos or threes at the most, and often they're alone.
We got pretty close to them. The building in the background is the Academy fire station. I didn't zoom this picture at all.
After Nate finish marvelling over the size, we turned around and went about a quarter mile down the hill, and found this herd. It had about 24 deer in it.
I-25 runs right down the middle of Colorado Springs. The Academy in on the west, and the houses we're looking at are on the east. There is a lot more wildlife on the west, since the mountains are on that side as well. Terri said there are tons of deer (as we've seen), and foxes and occasionally a bear or mountain lion. Her friend was out walking his dog one day (there are TONS of walking trails all over here), when a mountain lion rushed out, grabbed his dog and ran off with it. Scary. Good thing we'll be on the east side.
