These are Virginia white-tailed deer. They are common here in the mountain-valley region.
The Northern Cardinal with the light green feathers and red accents is a female. The red cardinal is a male.

...I was amazed, here on Maui I saw some cardinals.
ReplyDeleteCardinals are always a favorite of mine! And your deer photos are terrific!

I do love the cardinals, wish we had such bright coloured birds here. Have a good week, Diane
ReplyDeleteYou showed the real beauty of nature!
ReplyDeleteI love these beautiful birds !
Greetings
Great photos! I love the deer turning around to look back at you.
ReplyDeleteAre the deer hunted in your area? Just loving the "shots" you got of them. I wouldn't want them to be too friendly to people if someone wants to eat venison. Those are great cardinal shots too!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course the deer take note of you!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week
Hugs

Four great photos of my favorite animals/birds. Always a treat for me to see the deer as I don't very often, but the cardinals are regular visitors and I never get tired of seeing them. Enjoy your week Linda :)
ReplyDeleteNice photos of the deer and the cardinals. The deer must have heard you approaching. Have a wonderful new week!
ReplyDeleteI have heard one spring time cardinal call, but still seeing groups
ReplyDeleteI always have thought that the female cardinal is as lovely as the male, in a quieter way. The deer are sweet.
ReplyDeleteLinda - I miss seeing cardinals … thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Linda, loved all of these.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
