What I remember most about the summer in Hanlon Creek is the deer herd. We never saw the huge numbers that we'd occassionally see when we first moved here, but almost every day there were at least two or three, and often a larger herd that moved through the trees behind us and out into the meadow to graze.
They seem increasingly tame. Several times I have passed by one only 10-15 feet away, even when I have the dog with me on a leash. On the other hand, we regularly hear the barks of dogs off-leash, chasing deer through the bush. Not something I appreciate!
