Species Interations

I pulled off the road to get a shot of these deer eating some brush on Grizzly Peak. I followed a deer trail for a long while and found the deer I had earlier spooked happily eating some grass. I also saw new deer droppings next to old deer droppings. The older droppings had a better image of what they had in their droppings. Then I found a tree leaf that had been made into a tasty snack by a hungry insect. Further up Grizzly Peak I took a seat at my favorite look-out spot and saw a banana slug emerge from one of the previously dug grub holes in the rotted log. I have seen a million banana slugs, but never crawling out of a log like this!
