White-Tailed Deer (female)

Odocoileus virginianus

Description:

From Wiki: 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.

Habitat:

White-tailed deer are generalists and can adapt to a wide variety of habitats.[15] The largest deer occur in the temperate regions of Canada and United States. The Northern white-tailed deer (borealis), Dakota white-tailed deer (dacotensis), and Northwest white-tailed deer (ochrourus) are some of the largest animals, with large antlers. The smallest deer occur in the Florida Keys and in partially wooded lowlands in the neotropics.

Notes:

This was the sweetest encounter ever. She sat there cleaning her baby while I took photos.
