White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) feeding in swamp - Kirby Storter, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida
White-tailed Deer live in the Everglades and Big Cypress but they are seen only occasionally. I probably can describe each and every encounter I had with them during my time down here in 2005. They are very secretive and aren’t out in the open much. I think that the tall grasses also help to hide them from visitors.
Prior to this trip, I had only photographed them in the Everglades once and the image is far from special. The image I have been using in my book and whenver I talk about deer on my website is from farther north in Florida, though still in what would have been the historical Everglades. Now I have new images!
