These photos were taken in September of our deer family that follows the ancient trails that are now urbanization by a highway. Our neighbor Don wrote about the history of Scranton and the Slocum family who settled this area from England in the early 1700s. The Slocum family owned hundreds of acres of land rich in natural resources. The resources include the Lackawanna River which is two miles from our home. We are blessed to see Blue Herron, Red Tail Hawks, fox, our deer family, and sometimes a wayward bear. So many of these animals are displayed from the west mountains due to mismanaged modernization. The saddest scene I ever witnessed was to see a red tail hawk trying to make a nest for her young in the middle of a strip mall that used to be part of a forest.

My husband jokes around with me that the finest dinning for our animal friends is in our garden. Because we purchase deer corn feed and bird seed from the local farm supply store. Truly this is a joy for our family to see nature at her finest.
