More rain!
Caretaker's note: It is not advised to feed dog food to raccoons and other wildlife because it habituates wildlife to associate food with humans which can cause wildlife to become aggressive and a nuisance. Caretakers made an exception this year for a limited period of time due to extreme drought conditions.

2/10-inch rain
Two male Fallow deer waiting at deer feeding area, very tame and with broken horns.
Caretaker's note: These 2 Fallow deer passed through to feed at the White-tailed deer feeding station. They are very tame and let us get close enough to almost feed a carrot by hand. Based on one's broken horn, it seems they are aggressive with one another . They were also very aggressive towards the native deer and chased them away from the feeding station. They did not stay long and must have moved on.
