Out For a Seashore Adventure. This trio of does didn’t seem to be foraging as much as they were just passing through taking advantage of the low tide. Interesting to note that the one on the right has suffered an injury to one if it’s hind legs. Black-tailed deer,Canada,Geotagged,Odocoileus hemionus columbianus,Spring Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

    Neat! I saw deer in a salt marsh once and it surprised me. I never thought of them foraging along the coast before. Posted 4 years ago

      Yes, we have seen them eating seaweeds while foraging. Wonder if it may be for the salt? Posted 4 years ago

        Interesting! Perhaps they know how nutritious some seaweeds can be. Posted 4 years ago
