Treacherous crossing

On Christmas Day, these six white-tailed deer carefully crossed the river with its tricky bottom (rounded rocks) over to Kerby Island. Once out of the water, they had to get up onto the ice, then back into the water and back onto ice. Very easy for a deer to sustain a sprained ankle or worse at this time of year, let alone crossing the river at any time of year. They all made it safely!
