White-tailed Deer at Five Rivers

By Corey • June 22, 2007 • 4 comments

A short stroll this evening at Five Rivers was rewarded with some nice encounters with White-tailed Deer. The shots below were with a particularly cooperative doe that allowed me to close within fifteen feet of her.

This one was not cooperative at all, but I still like the result:

Have a great weekend…I’ll be back next week!

Update: I had to add this more recent shot of a leaping fawn, also taken at Five Rivers…

We have a lame deer in our yard that we see every so often. Perhaps the injury was the result of a run-in with hunter or a car. She ate all my lilies…….

So that’s where that deer I hit went to… Hmmmm…. Perhaps I should finish the job, unless it can pay me 3 grand!

It is wonderful when they do let you get close! But why are they always camera shy? BTW: Love your photos!

A team of researchers has found that the populations of common birds around the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan has plummeted. Most disturbingly, the populations of species that the area has in common with Chernobyl has fallen more in Fukushima than they did in the site of worst nuclear disaster in world history.
