Fighting! But we're all still friends.
It's amazing that every one of these fights ended with the animals simply stopping and continuing to hang out or eat. So maybe "playing" would be a better word than "fighting".

Skull of Destiny
Near our hoops court is an aging elk skull that is equal parts haunting and beautiful (especially with all the moss and leaves on it). Many animals visit the skull - these are just some of them in the last two months (shown chronologically). You'll see bears, raccoons, deer, bobcats, elk and coyotes. Several of the elk chew on the bones and many of the animals react to the skull. You'll even see a three-legged coyote - who made me sad when I first saw her, but now inspires me because she does so well and gets around as easy as the rest of her pack. Notice that most of the clips are from the night time. Maybe that's because that's when they feel the elk spirit the strongest!

June 14th
A variety of animals hung out around the house on June 14th - I made this video from different clips from that day. I had to slow down the bobcat clip because she went by so quickly. This was actually the first day we saw the baby bear that we have now seen a couple more times since.

Deer vs Coyote
Because there are so many animals around the yard, it is inevitable that they will run into each other on occasion. Sometimes with surprising outcomes. Here, a badass deer runs off a coyote who stops for a second to try to face-off with the deer, but then realizes that's not a very good idea.

When Mom is Too Tired to Play
This fawn tried her best to get mom to play with her, but alas, mom wasn't having it. I froze the last frame of the video because it was so adorable.

Three Deer Cage Match
These deer wanted to settle things in a hurry - so they all jumped in the ring together at once. In the end though, like most deer spats, it didn't amount to much and they all just stopped fighting and started eating again.
