Wow.
Ouch. Poor deer.
awesome.
we were dive-bombed once by a golden with hatchlings when we got too close to her busy nest, and she advertised those talons big and bright on her way over our heads. it was as exhilarating as it was sh*t-in-the-pants scary. a mama golden is not a bird you want to piss off!
