Mammals Deer in the Marsh

[jcass]

Two photos of deer in a small nature preserve, Millbrook Marsh. The first is a doe that emerged from the treeline and crossed the marsh in the early morning while I was birding. She was followed by two fawns that remained too low in the tall grass for me to photograph. The second photo is from a group of about 12 deer. It was a week earlier and also in the morning. When I looked closely at the second photo, I realized the deer in the background is a buck, the subject at right-front is a doe, and the smaller deer on the left is likely a young doe who has lost her spots.

Makes me wonder where the phrase "doe eyes" came from.
