Deer
Last night when I went out to my car in the driveway, I heard a rustling which startled me. It sounded close by but was actually up the street a little way. Five deer were in a neighbor's yard. Some of them had scattered across the sidewalk when I came outside.
Last year there were three that wandered through town late at night and early in the morning. One morning at dawn, they clattered down the hill to the stop sign, and sensing a human presence, stopped, then turned left down the street.
