Early Morning Whitetail

While kayaking the Little River, I was able to observe a small Whitetail Deer drinking at the water's edge. I enjoy exploring the Little River by boat because it allows me to see a number of species that I may not be able to see on the land. Having no natural predators in the water, deer are normally patient and allow paddlers to come much closer to them than people on foot. I hope to see this doe again sometime!
