Both my truck and trailer were due for service, so I stayed in Sutherlin, where I could take them into Eugene. Summer is a busy time for rv dealers and independent service techs, so I had to wait a while for an appointment.

Wild turkeys were seen throughout my travels, but Sutherlin had to have the most in one spot.

Looked out my window and saw a deer grazing. Grabbed my camera and then saw a baby with the adult. Turned back again and there were three. Here the young ones are very curious about the rabbit. They almost follow after it, but decide to stick with mom.

There is a street at this Sutherlin park named Killdeer. Thought maybe it was a reference to the deer eating landscape plants. I noticed the above bird several times near the entrance to the park. On looking up its name in the bird catalog, found it is called killdeer because its song sounds like “kill deer”.
