Another fulfilled afternoon and evening watching and photographing the Whitetail Deer. It started with the unfortunate demise of a deer and a fortunate meal for a Turkey Vulture. Then... Waaaay off in the distance I saw a piebald deer, a rare and exciting moment for me. I am hopeful to get more opportunities to photograph this animal. Another location near by I saw and photographed several doe skirting through a gully bottom. They seemed to be in a hurry, a couple did stop momentarily to check the surroundings. Late afternoon into early evening provided some exciting Whitetail events.

Looks to have been a great day!
Hi Larry!! Great shots, especially of the piebald deer! I've never heard of them and read more about them in Maryland. How cool are they and what a treat for you to see and photograph!!
Wonderful pics! I love deer. Had three in the front yard one night until my dog saw them and scared them away. I can sometimes here them in my woods doing the 'whooosh' sound...blowing to let you know they know you're there.
