"They Get Bigger"

On this day, I walked over 10 miles on the trails of Kensington Park, and this was the only Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) seen. But, silent deer that freeze in position are very hard to detect in heavy vegetation. Because of their coloration, they are also hard to detect in winter's naked woods. Males, like this one in the picture shed their antlers each year, regrow them in the spring.
