Just before I photographed a winter Bobcat<\/span><\/a> four days ago at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, I also took photos of a frosty White-tailed Deer doe in the same spot.<\/p>\n

\"FrostyFrosty White-tailed Deer doe at Sequoyah NWR \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f8, 1\/100, ISO 1250, Canon EF 100-400mm II at 300mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

There were several White-tailed Deer does in the area, and most of them had frost on their haunches, heads, and ears from the chilly overnight temps. The vegetation along the side road was frosty too.<\/p>\n

We’ve been seeing plenty of deer on recent trips to the refuge, mostly does. That could mean there might be quite a few fawns pretty soon too.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a switch for me to be photographing White-tailed Deer. In Utah, all I ever photographed were Mule Deer. Mule Deer have much bigger ears, and it\u2019s easy to see where they got their name because of that feature.<\/p>\n

I loved photographing Mule Deer when I lived out west, but I’m finding White-tailed Deer to be slightly more graceful looking, and that appeals to me.<\/p>\n

Very soon after I photographed this doe, I became focused on the Bobcat as it moved out onto the road. She was one of the does that started huffing, blowing, and stomping because of the cat.<\/p>\n

Seeing the frosty White-tailed Deer and the Bobcat at Sequoyah NWR<\/span><\/a> was a real treat.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
