White-tailed doe in a barley field, Glacier County, MontanaWhite-tailed doe in a barley field -Nikon D300, f8, 1/800, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR at 330mm, natural light, not baited

Two years ago today I was in Glacier County, Montana photographing sparrows, partridge, Swainson’s Hawks and White-tailed Deer. White-tailed Deer are very rare in Utah so my opportunities to photograph them are limited because I usually only see them when I head north into Idaho or Montana.

I photographed this White-tailed doe early in the morning as it walked through a field of barley that was just about ready to harvest and I enjoyed how the deer and barley had picked up a golden glow from the rising sun. This doe eventually came in so close that I was able to take portrait images of it too.

Life is good.
