I've been seeing it happen from time to time only managed to get these 2 screen shots while thinking about it BUT its only birds and deer. I think perhaps (due to bug or intent) creatures that can't do any damage can spawn even inside work bench range under what ever accidental occurrence.

I have a spot outside my earthen walls that is inside my work bench range that spawns deer from time to time.
