"The Common Whitetail...!grows to about 1 3/4 inches long and has a stocky body. Males have a chalky white abdomen... and a broad, dark brown band in the center of each wing. Female whitetails have a brown abdomen with yellowish dash-like markings on the sides. They have brown blotches in the center of each wing and at the tips." http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecolog...
Giff Beaton "Common Whitetails live just about anywhere there is water, including lakes, ponds, marshes, rivers, and streams. They occur in very large numbers at beaver ponds. Common Whitetails are perchers, meaning they often rest on logs, rocks, low plant stems, or even on the ground." http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecolog...
