This Buck somehow managed to snag a string of decorative bells. He is quite entangled but seems to be doing okay. He's able to eat, but he isn't able to walk quietly because the bells jingle as he moves. Mark Haveman was the first to let me know about him - the Buck in in the area of Fish Rock Road in Gualala. Bill Bennett then sent me these photos of the poor guy.

It would be nice if we could get them off of him, but that's easier said than done. This Buck might be stuck with the bells until he loses his antlers early next year. Or, hopefully, he will figure a way to remove them.

Thanks to Bill for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

The heavy fog of the past couple of days is gone. It's sunny and breezy today.
