Lots of Deer at FW. What's ironic, is that I am a hunter from Northeast PA and we were down there at FW for the first week of Deer season back home. As luck would have it (and my wife is happy about it) I wasn't able to go hunting at all this past season as a result of a Surgery (before we left for WDW), our trip to FW and illness after our return.

And Wild life of a smaller nature....

At Wilderness Lodge (while waiting for a transfer bus) We saw this little frog

Then while waiting for a bus inside FW we saw this poor guy...



Notice that he is missing a leg. We thought he probably wouldn't make it, but the next day he was doing just fine. (This picture is FROM the "Next Day" I did not take a picture of him the day before because quite frankly we didn't think it would survive and well..... that would be kind of morbid).

Looks like he is saying grace before going for another hot dog...

Delicious... errrr.... I mean "Cute!"

(It's the "Hunter" in me, although I prefer Venison. Sorry to the Vegetarians out there. )

Almost roadkill...

Wish I had a camera in my hand but several years ago when it had been raining alot and the areas between the cabins were pretty swampy, I had a river otter splashing around at the rear of the cabin.

One evening, while watching the CMs wash a few horses, a group of turkeys decided to get in line for their bath as well

Just returned a couple weeks ago and took pic of an alligator in canal behind our site 306. Sorry for the quality, fumbled quickly for phone to take pic. His head clearly visible. Very near the dog park and playground. I was a little freaked but my husband didn't seem at all concerned as he grew up in Florida. We did tell them tho, and they said they would have someone look into it, but we never saw anyone do that.

When we were at the fort in 2007 there was a rabbit that must have lived nearby and was tame enough to visit humans. My sons were 7 & 5 at the time. They would feed it carrots and they named it "Uncle Bunny"

Tiggerdad, looks like we saw the same Tom, maybe even in the same place.

Loved getting up earning, so many critters are out and about.

Hard to see but there is a hawk in the tree.

Animal visitors around my campsite (2065) during the last week of October included squirrels, rabbits, deer, turkeys, a piliated woodpecker, a nuthatch or creeper, several hawks, a barred owl and a great horned owl. I spent 20 minutes talking to the great horned. He was very chatty. I also love the natural mosquito control cast members (bats-lots and lots of bats).

Been meaning upload these as they are from last Oct 29, 2014. While sitting at the Meadows Pool we had a visit by this hawk.

These guys were from last week on Nov 20, 2015. Take around 5:15p right between Peacock Pass and the hitch/unhitch area on FW Trail. These were taking with my phone. Can't remember of I got any with my camera. If I did I'll upload those too.
