Wow - it's as if she (it's a she, isn't it?) was posing for you ...

"Turn to the right ... show me "passion" ... that's it, baby, work with me, work with me ..." :D
 
Yes, it's a doe...the males have antlers, she was very cooperative...and it helps that I speak deer. :playful: I saw around a dozen of them, and took some other pics that didn't come out good. One close up would have been nice, but too blurred. Gotta get used to my new little camera, not used to these gizmos, not even an eye viewer that you look into like I'm used to. Technophobe here, lol.
 

The only reason I can take digital pictures is because I have a digital single-lens reflex camera - I could never use something that doesn't have an eye-piece.

Kudos on a great shot.
 
Beautiful image you captured SeaBreeze. I know you got to be quick with your camera when photographing wildlife. Seems like you no sooner spot them when they suddenly disappear. I live in Florida and occasionally see something, but kick myself for not having my camera ready.
 
Thanks everyone! :love_heart: Lois, great photo of the bobcat, that's one animal I haven't been close to...yet! :eek: :coolpics: My pets do me dirty like the wildlife sometimes, when they're in a cute pose together or alone, they must hear the camera turn on...and they're gone. :eek:nthego:
 
You know what is supposedly making a comeback? Cougars.

Not the hot elderly woman type - the four-footed ones.

Almost exterminated in the East by 1900 and in the West shot on site, today they number more than 30,000 in the U.S. They range from California to Florida to the Ozarks.

Good comeback, kitties!

Lois do you have any trouble with Bobcats , do they go for your pets at all?

Have never had a problem. Our property is fenced in. Before that we would have armadillos, possums, big turtles & feral cats using our yard. Only thing getting is is bunnies. I have 1 cat. She stays in the house or gets her sun & fresh air by laying around the pool, which has a huge screen room around it. I also have a boarder collie. She loves chasing the bunnies.
 
on my ranch I've seen deer, bobcat, mountain lion, feral pigs, skunks, raccoon, and more - here's a pic of my girls with a treed bobcat - I always take them off so the bobcat can get away

yep, one of the dogs didn't strike a very good pose :)

Wonderful pictures.
SeaBreeze you did great getting the pics of deer. Lately we can see up to 9 or 10 deer in the
field next to our driveway. The highway runs past and sometimes cars stop and folks take pictures.
There is still some snow on the ground with bits of brown grass showing through for deer to nibble at.
 
Thanks Raven, it's always a better walk when I can see some wildlife. There are still patches of snow by me too, just not in those photos...the sun melts things pretty fast in my neck o' the woods. :sunshine:
 
Saw these young ones on Sunday, there were more, but all grazing and looking the other way...

Saw these guys at the park today, a few deer and a coyote. The pictures really aren't great, but it was a gorgeous day and wildlife always make my walks so much better. Was alone today, so when I saw the two coyotes, I got out my pepper spray, just in case they became too assertive. Only got a pic of the one.

These pictures look like they could have been taken at our place. We have several deer that hang out in our woods....I've counted as many as 14 at one time. They are so used to us that they will come right up near our front deck on a hot Summer day to get a drink from one of our birdbaths. So long as we don't make any sudden moves or noise, they will just look at us for a moment, then get their drink. We've had a couple of fawns that were so curious they would come up on the back porch and look through the glass storm door to see what we were doing. I used to hunt, but I haven't taken a deer in 3 or 4 years...more fun just to watch them. The only aggravation I have with them is when they try to invade the garden...but I've got enough motion sensor sprinklers located around the perimeter that the sudden noise and burst of cold water generally keeps them at bay.
 
They come up to our back fence in summer to eat the pears that drop from the tree, we see quite a few of them there throughout the year.
