Description
Yes, that is his head and his body! This little Black tailed deer is quite flexible as you can see. He was waiting for his Mommy to come and be with him. He was quite nervous about something that was in the woods. He was born right nearby where he was standing. How cute is he? Sweet little face. Of course, I have no flowers anymore. The price I pay. Here's some of the information on this kind of deer. The black-tailed deer is classified as one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. Its first recorded observation in habitat was made by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804 to 1806. The black-tailed deer has two different subspecies: The Columbia black-tailed deer and the Sitka black-tailed deer. The two subspecies occupy different areas within North America.
The black-tailed deer is generally a little smaller than the mule deer. Additionally, both subspecies of the black-tailed deer are distinguishable by their larger tails and their backs, which are covered with black or brown hair. According to Hungry for Hunting, the Sitka black-tailed deer is smaller than Columbia black-tailed deer. The antlers of both black-tailed deer species are evenly forked like the mule deer. However, black-tailed deer only grow a maximum of three tines per side. Both species of the black-tailed deer are found in the Pacific Northwest, "living in temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific Coast," according to the National History Museum. The Columbia black-tailed deer is primarily located in California, Oregon and British Columbia, while the Sitka deer is primarily found in British Columbia, Washington and Southeast Alaska. The forests that black-tailed deer occupy are characterized by cooler temperatures and a lot of precipitation. Black-tailed deer do not migrate due to seasonal changes, and stay in the same area most of the time. Black-tailed deer are herbivores and eat the variety of plants and herbs that are within their habitat. The animal will even eat poison oak without experiencing an allergic reaction. The deer communicate with each over using over 10 vocalizations. When startled, the black-tailed deer, according to International Hunter Education Association, "will run with high, stiff-legged bounce, like mule deer." Common predators of the deer include coyotes, cougars, bears, wolves and golden eagles.

It is hard to find a work you have created and I have not voted on at some time! :) Glad I found this one. I also responded to your lovely comment on my iPad painting--not iPhone but iPad. There are hundreds of painting/drawing apps for iPad work and now also many high quality pens that have the proper tip for fine line painting and drawing (and model contract signing!) in the iPad. It is a wonderful tool. I actually created a group specifically for that! Here is the group so you can see the work of others as well--albeit not many of us yet: http://fineartamerica.com/groups/ipad-or-iphone-or-any-touchscreen-art-2-daily.html but the group is growing and slowly but surely it will be a big group eventually. :) v/f
