Oh! Deer!

White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) have been a common sight around the 1.75-mile boardwalk at the Audubon Center at Francis Beidler Forest.  Maybe it's all the hunting going on outside of the sanctuary or maybe it's simply easier to see through the swamp now that many of the leaves have fallen from the trees.  Whatever the reason, visitors have been able to view the deer at close range and capture images to take home!
