For my birthday last month, I took a weekday trip up to Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. It was very hot (mid-July in Texas) and I didn't expect to see too much in the way of critters, but I really wanted to go anyway.
We didn't get up to the refuge until late afternoon and by 5 o'clock we could see some summer storms starting up nearby so we decided to head home. That's when the most wonderful thing happened: we saw a trio of whitetail deer near the refuge's wheatfields. Two adults and an adorable spotted fawn.
It was the best birthday gift I could have imagined.
