Whitetail Doe and Fawn at sunrise. I am sorry but I am going to be off again for awhile. Have a wonderful new week.
There was a bit of freezing rain and snow that made the world into a so-called winter wonderland here yesterday. I went out for a little stroll in the park and found this whitetail doe with unmelted snow on her back, which means she has a lot better insulation than I do. There was no trouble at all finding a parking space, from which we can conclude that the typical park visitor has a higher IQ than I do.
Once again I had a lucky day at Lynde Shores. With the -20 weather and terrible road conditions, very few photographers were out and about. This graceful Doe was one of quite a large family of deer that were wondering around. I also came across several species of birds including a stunning barred owl.
doe and her spring fawn...during rut they will have been separated for a short time due to breeding activity but when that's over doe's usually group back up with their female offspring until spring when they separate to begin that cycle of life....I can't say I've really noticed them grouping back up with their male offspring....
This little furry doe was trying to find something to eat. With frost covering everything....even her, I bet it was a bit of a challenge.
Who remembers Do-Re-Mi Lyrics from Sound of Music?
Do- A deer, a female deer
Re- A drop of golden sun
Mi- A name I call myself
Fa- A long, long way to run
So- A needle pulling thread
La- A note to follow so
Te- A drink with jam and bread
An early morning White-tailed Doe watches cautiously from the distance while standing in tall dew covered marsh grass, mosquitos all around her.
Thank you for viewing
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
(oh-oh-oh)
This Whitetail Doe had twins but the other one got in the brush before I could get this shot. I love seeing these young ones while they still have their spots.
Have a wonderful Sunday

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) Doe
Cascade Mountains - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
"The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.
Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.
Black-tailed deer can be distinguished from mule deer by their larger tail, the back of which is completely covered with black or dark brown hairs. Mule deer have smaller tails in which only the tip is covered with black hairs. Black-tailed deer are generally smaller than mule deer."

Sorry for the "cliché" shot but I had the most magical experience watching this lovely doe today and just wanted to share it with you.
