Words used to describe Wildlife Photography usually don't include: spectacular, magnificent, or breathtaking. I have probably overused the words beautiful or wonderful to describe my photos. But, the only word that comes to mind in this photo is "Sweet." It is a very young White Tail Deer who seems spellbound to look at me. I think it is the combination of the tall grasses, and the fact that his ears fan out the way they do that make him look so "sweet." This photo was taken on a hike along the San Pedro River which is a 40 mile river that runs into Mexico from Southern Arizona. It is a birder's paradise with tall cottonwood trees and ponds. Scarlet Tanagers and Oriole's seem to love this spot in early Spring as they migrate into Arizona. Year round residents include the Vermillion Flycatcher, Brown Crested Flycatcher, Lesser Goldfinch, a host of Swallows and Warblers, Yellowthroat, and several varieties of Hummingbirds to name a few.
