Furtive creatures that peer at you, while you are filming and photographing them!
While recording audio for my Monarch film at the same field over a several week period, occasionally I came upon a deer family. Not quick enough to get more than a fleeting snapshot however, these two deer were spotted peering at me while I waited in vain for their return, so that I could peer back at them!

The wrong end of the deer I’m most likely to capture.

Thank you Terry–never a dull moment–and easily spooked by their rustlings. Rabbits are the noisiest of all; you might think there is a bear on the other side of the thicket with their loud scramblings!

I know seriously Rich–and yes there are coyotes, too. Hopefully, one of these days, I’ll get a snapshot of their peering eyes!

What great pictures!! I love the close up shots! Wrong end? If you didn’t shoot those how would we know they have those “Fluffy” white tails?

Thanks so much Lowell! Well that’s true however, if you saw me out there, ever so cautiously trying like mad to sneak up on this extremely shy family, and the most I ever get is their but ends, from a distance, then you’d understand how it is I feel like an epic fail–although I’ll keep trying!

Thank you EJ. One of these days i would like to get really good photo of the family. The top photo is super enlarged–I didn’t realize until i got home and blew it up that there was more than one peering out of the woods!
