Fall in the forest means it’s white-tailed deer season, the perfect opportunity for spotting these graceful creatures in their element. 🦌 As temperatures drop, deer shed their reddish summer coats for a grayish winter layer that helps them blend into the trees. This time of year, bucks are also in “rut,” using their antlers to compete for attention and territory. Keep your eyes open on your next park visit or even in your backyard... you might just spot one dashing through the leaves! 🍁 #WildlifeWednesday #FindYourPark #FallVibes #WildlifeConservation #Deer #WhiteTailedDeer #PublicLands 📸: NationalParkService
