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.
The white-tailed deer is a woodland species.
We spotted this herd with 15-20 individuals in a local neighborhood.
