DEER

Deer in a backyard wildlife habitat area are a good sign that the ecosystem in general is still in place.  The smaller species, including plants, are needed to keep the whole intact.  Because of their size, deer also need a larger hiding place for themselves and their young ones.  I am especially fortunate since I live inside a heavily human populated city circle.  With more of the surrounding plots of land being destroyed and turned into apartment buildings, along with the heavy traffic on surrounding streets, it is only a matter of time before the larger creatures are all gone.  So, for now, I enjoy watching their beauty and grace in this natural backyard wildlife habitat.
