I was standing behind the trunk of an old dead cottonwood tree. My attention was regularly\u00a0focused in that direction because it is common for animals of all kind to enter\u00a0in and leave\u00a0this section of protected wetland. Animals follow the terrain even if it means\u00a0walking in water, birds follow the terrain even when floating on the water\u2019s surface or flying overhead.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1329\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1329\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1329 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/wp_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/deer-trek-photo-by-ike-austin-1024x432.jpg\" alt=\"White-tailed Deer - Michigan\" width=\"590\" height=\"249\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deer Trek &#8211; Migration &#8211; Early One Winter Morning &#8211; Bevy of Whitetail Michigan<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As I patiently remained hidden behind the tree, the noisy splashing got louder and closer. Suddenly, a small bevy of white tailed deer came rumbling along the trail right down the center of the narrow, shallow\u00a0entry-way giving the appearance\u00a0they were running on water.<\/p>\n<p>The herd of white-tailed deer\u00a0resembled an excited family on an exploratory road trip. The larger matriarch was in the rear looking like a drill sergeant barking commands to the troop of does &amp; fawns. The tightly formed troop of deer looked like they enjoyed following the commands\u00a0of their group matriarch. I remained motionless as the small bevy of white-tailed deer\u00a0thundered passed my concealed location never knowing they were being observed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Nature Photography by Ike Austin \u2013 Michigan<br \/>\nPhotography that is Therapy for the Soul<br \/>\nMichigan Birds<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"belted-kingfisher-blue-streak-of-michigan\" href=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/wp_blog\/nature-photography-michigan-osprey\/logo-icon-trademark-five\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-235\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Nature Photography by Ike Austin\" src=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/wp_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/logo-icon-trademark-five-150x150.png\" alt=\"nature photography - michigan\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"michigan sand hill crane\" href=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/\">Nature Photography<\/a>\u00a0by Ike Austin \u2013\u00a0<a title=\"Birds of Michigan - Sandhill Crane\" href=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/Birds-of-Michigan-by-Ike%20Austin\/index.html\">Michigan<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Photography that is Therapy for the Soul\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Michigan Birds<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bevy of White-Tailed Deer &#8211; Michigan, Does &amp; Fawns Odocoileus virginianus Deer Royalty &#8211; Young Bucks &nbsp; Off in the Distance &#8211; Bevy of White-tailed Deer Off in the distance&#8211;a group of deer, on the northern passage of Jimme\u2019, hidden deep within Kensington forest, I heard\u00a0a soft rumbling noise.
