FROM ADA ICON - On Tuesday morning, The Icon, heading east on Lima Avenue near Ohio Northern University, spotted a deer family traveling from the south side of the avenue to the north side and toward the woods on campus.
In addition to the deer, a flock of Canada geese stood ready to fend off anyone who came too close.
After stopping to watch, the Icon took the following photos of the deer crossing the street.
We've enhanced some of the photos to viewers can see the deer outlines - because we were shooting into the sun.
