Odocoileus virginianus
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, which it shows as a signal of alarm by raising the tail during escape.
Spotted this deer in a brushy area between a church and neighborhood. It was standing very still and watching/hiding from a dog in a yard.
