D'oh, a deer

While Jarret and I were driving to a movie on Saturday, I saw some deer grazing on the side of the road.

"Aw, look, baby deer! And they're with their mommy deer!" I gushed. Jarret nodded, keeping his eyes on the road.

A few seconds later I saw a large flock of birds congregated on the same side of the road. These were huge birds, birds-of prey size. As I wondered about why so many of these birds would be together on the ground, still babbling to Jarret how cute the doe and her fauns were, I realized what the birds were doing.

Eating a baby deer.

My subsequent freakout after that was considered hilarious by Jarret, since he didn't see anything.

As I read this post, a commercial from the living room TV blared out about Disney DVD. As a result, I can't get "Circle of Life" out of my head. Thank you.
