White-tailed Deer - Odocoileus virginianus I met this deer in a meadow early yesterday morning. It was curious, unafraid, and started walking over to me. Maybe it mistook me for a deer because of my white flash diffuser? The connection was lost once I started talking to it, though. It took off once it heard my voice. I am trying not to be offended. <br /> <br /> Habitat: Coniferous meadow Fall,Geotagged,Odocoileus,Odocoileus virginianus,United States,White-tailed Deer,deer Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
