Whitetail deer - Springtime doe

Here is a female whitetail deer that I  photographed at the very end of May.  Notice that her coat is still in transition from winter to summer.  The summer coat is much more red but there are still remnants of the darker winter coat.

This was taken on the same day I found the newborn fawn.  The fawn was hidden in thicker, shady woods but this doe was feeding along the edge of a meadow and periodically grooming herself.  I was able to get this shot from the adjacent woods where I could remain hidden.
