What is That Orange Stuff?
Today was pretty close to being a non photography day. I finished up the first edit of the book and sent it off to the publisher. Following that I went out to the Burris Ranch and set up a couple more bird feeders and did some clean up around the photoblind. I was excited to to see that the western Bluebirds were checking out the nest boxes. One of the other boxes already had some Tree Swallows in residence.On the trip home I stopped to photograph some Blacktail Deer. On a closer look one of the deer had a swollen face and what appeared to be some sort of orange scarring on its face. I've never seen anything like it before.
God's light and love to all,
chris

Tree pollen? I'll look at my deer and see if they have anything. It could be a skin eruptions from some mites or something.
ReplyDeleteIt's not tree pollen. Looking at the deer from the side you could see definite swelling and scratch like marks.
DeleteI agree with Diane - probably tree pollen :) You had to be in camouflage. In Poland, deer are very skittish. To make some deer portrait is very difficult.
ReplyDeleteHi Krzysztof Mikunda,
DeleteNo camouflage needed. The Deer are sometimes skittish especially during hunting season Here I just used a slow approach with my pick up as the deer were next to the road. Thank you for stopping by for a look!
WOW! I really like your blog, you make pretty pictures :)
