White-tailed deer

Odocoileus virginianus

Description:

The white-tailed deer, also known as the whitetail, is a medium-sized deer native to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America as far south as Peru and Bolivia. - from Wikipedia

Habitat:

The deer's coat is a reddish-brown in the spring and summer and turns to a grey-brown throughout the fall and winter. The deer can be recognized by the characteristic white underside to its tail. It will raise its tail when it is alarmed to flag the other deer.

Notes:

We are having sever winter and I hope spring will bring lots of greens for them to eat.
