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.

We spotted about eight deer and at the tail end was a youngster, who we'll call "Bambi." The younster was too timid to cross the road, thus ending up alone in the field.

We are confident that the family found their stray. Several Ada residents told the Icon that they've also watched this herd cross Lima Avenue.
