A deer in winter…

We received about another inch of wet, heavy snow overnight, and I took some time to clear our sidewalk this morning before temps fell back below freezing, so I didn’t get into Estabrook Park until 10am. By then, my expectations of finding wildlife were low, and the birds pretty much met those expectations, but this buck surprised me. I saw the doe first, and she didn’t wait for me to get my camera fired up before slipping over the crest of the bluff. This buck, on the other hand, pause for a minute to stare me down, and I will be eternally grateful.

And that’s the show for today, I’m afraid. I did take the afternoon to visit a couple other parks, but it’s late, and I’m exhausted, so those pictures will have to wait for another day.
