Bullwinkle in the back yard

Well, about a week ago, look who turned up in my back yard!

This morning she was back. 7AM, still dark out, flipped on the light by the carport, walked up to my truck and as I was turning the key in the door, Mama was coming around my wife's car, heading for the back yard. I could have reached out and touched her nose! Now, I knew she had a calf the last time and I was not about to mess with her, so I jumped in the cab. She was quite docile, walked right by and behind her came 3 calves! They stayed in my yard for about 2 hours, munching on an ornamental crabapple tree. I live in town, about 1 1/2 blocks from the river. Needless to say, she scared the crap out of me this morning, but it sure was an interesting experience.
