Deer

We saw 2 little skinny deer in the mountains. They were small and looked to be fawns that had lost their spots or else last years fawns. They were the most skinny deer I have ever seen up there. You could count their ribs. We didn't understand that as their seemed to be plenty of grass for them to eat and they were grazing as we watched them. I do hope the little things manage to put on some weight so they can survive the winter. Also hope they learn to be more afraid of people as hunting season will be here soon, although it is illegal to shoot a deer up here that doesn't have antlers, and these two didn't.

Mule Deer


We went to Jemez Mountains about a week ago and saw 3 mule deer. You can tell they are mule deer due to the size of their ears. This one was really close and I got a decent photo of her. I was suprised it came out this good as it was almost dark when I took it.
