Whitetail Button Buck
Five deer were in our backyard, next to the back porch, feasting on acorns. I took several photos of the group, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos on the computer that I noticed that least two of the deer are button bucks. This one was closest to the house and his buttons are easy to see. The "buttons" are the bumps or knobs on the forehead, where the antlers are beginning to grow. It will be fun watching these youngsters grow up into handsome adults. Backyard wildlife.
