Black-tailed Deer
This beautiful creature was in my yard when I got back from the beach today.

They can be tricky to distinguish from Mule Deer if you can't see their tail.

Really nice eye contact in the 1st shot.
In the 2nd it looks like it was losing interest and was close to moving on.
The only Deer's we have are bought in ones and when I got one sort I was so happy.
But to get them in your own back yard would be such a treat.
Nice Job.

Thanks, Ralph.
You called that second shot. I only included it to help those interested to identify the creature.
Yes, I'm extremely fortunate.
