We had an appointment, It was gone when we came home a bit later. I looked everywhere and could not find it. Two days later it appeared again about 100 yards south, out the opposite end of our barn. It was on our viewing bench, it hopped off to the ground, then hopped up onto a higher fence, then eventually flew off low and leaning left back towards our barn and disappeared. Saw a pair today duking it out for a tree's crown. So not sure how territorial they are and not sure how injured that one was, but it could still fly away-ish. Raptor Center and ODFW have not responded here unless humans are at risk or animal is immobile or barley budging (guess they do not want to waste resources if not a sure thing/capture). We were told Hawks may also be lethargic after a large meal (and we have many Voles popping up near there after recent rains). Was also told hawks may be on the ground if there is a nearby fledgling. I will post a video of the hawk, two days later, hopping bench to fence. Thank you.

The old fashioned way would be down in the creek (haha). Yeah it is loud in the video, others have also commented. The camera is on a tripod right next to (almost touching) the dishwasher and over the echo chamber metal sink, the decibels have not dissipated at the proximity. Sound level drops dramatically inches away. Though, I probably should have adjusted it down in post. Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, I agree that it is maybe not a newborn, but because of agility (not size). However, the 'buzzards' did a clean up, so maybe mom did rush off (she usually eats the (predatory bait) evidence herself, yuk). Check out our videos from 2021 (old camera), where we found twins JUST birthed in our sawmill barn, one still on the ground, just about to stand/stumble for the first time. You can be sure these were just born, as you can see gobbeldygook (YT acceptable verbiage) still hanging from mommy. However, these two are still quite large (even though mommy had two in her). One is slightly smaller than the other (runt?) We have continuous video over their first two days of life (gaining strength/agility) before they left the barn. But even in the first 24 minutes these two were not as agile as the one in today's video. But they did gain strength/agility quickly, and required cyclical periods of rest. We have had many birthed close by. In 2020; right outside our bedroom window. However I have never seen a just born as small as the mother's head. Usually they can stand very soon (seconds to minutes) and then start nursing while (tall) mommy is standing (or laying down) but to nurse standing requires more than a deer's head of height (maybe 3-4 heads worth?) Thank you very much for the input, here are just two links of our older videos of deer twins just birthed. Twin Fawns 0: ~1st minute, found just born moments earlier in our barn while I saw mill/woodwork kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqm4k6ukhtx9itE Twin Fawns 4: Leaving home (the 4th 8 minutes of life) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHWpg42Ai8xjec0

Thank you very much!

yea, definitely not a newborn

Yep, I thought she heard something my way. That machine takes over three hours to complete the wash.

It is a wild turkey. Our forest/farm is inundated with them (see our other videos). It was a rare lone turkey. Around here they always stick together; males in a flock and hens (w babies) in another flock. I am guessing this guy was kicked out of the nursery (nearing one year old?) and looking for the guys, just a guess. He definitely seemed attracted to our kitchen noise, which included some pots/pans clanging that had a gobble rhythm. The nice thing about wild turkeys is their pest control, they eat Oregon slugs (and much more).

I also wondered this while watching for hours. About ten old apples were stuck to that tree throughout the ice storm and all finally fell off after it warmed up.

Loved doing it, though it may have been a bit informal (i.e.no testing equipment, just muscle measurements). I still have a 5th RAS to check and I was also going to go back to the one (Montgomery Ward) that slipped and double check tightness on the blade guard (and remove/reset). In the end it could be 5 for 5 that do not slip. I will even go as far as cleaning the surfaces with solvent to make them as smooth as new, they could have years of "build-up" on them that cause them to "stick" well. However, I do procrastinate cleaning and would be tickled to discover that dirt is now my friend and crutch (that has saved me from kick-back).

Thank you. Not yet as cold and snowy here, as your recent ice storm video. Fingers crossed. BTW, How thick/durable/weatherproof is you sawmilll cover?

I appreciate to feedback, thank you.

Yep, and they make things slippery, yuk.

Thank you, it was PURE luck. I was at the window watching him play with his breakfast for the longest time before I finally decided to go grab the camera I know nothing about (figuring he would be gone upon my return). He was still there, powered on, pushed a few buttons, twisted the zoom lens, scratched my head and viola, luck.

When the apple tree was younger, I placed milled cant slabs spanning across the top rails (like a cattle guard) and the deer still tried to get at at (but failed). The tree is older now, so I do not try as hard to protect it, and the deer do a great job of pruning it for me.

Upon returning from rare outings, entering through the gates, there is always a certain sense of "Awwwwww". The zero anxiety zone.

area mowed is bigger than a football field. I am always surprised at how fast it goes, I check the time and expect it to be more. That was probably under 30 minutes.

We love it. Thanks for watching. I still need to watch your Milling Top Plates vid ... your post jogged my brain (and I still need to finish your "Outdoor kitchen" series). It is a rainy Sunday here, so no milling for me, I'll watch you. Thanks

20/20? (I hope). Thank you.
