Deer Goes to College During Pandemic

I hadn't left the house in over 50 days, and it's migrating bird season when I would typically have joined the local Audubon group on their bird walks. They have all been canceled for the season, but a friend invited me to go in separate cars, and walk a distance apart from each other. So I went. As soon as we entered the college campus in our cars, I could see deer here and there -- walking around on campus because there are no students or anyone else either. But when we got to the nature park, the parking lot was packed and families were everywhere making their way toward the nature preserve (just opened) and children were running in the playground. I didn't even bother to park or get out of my car. But I snapped a few deer photos from my car as I headed home.
how nice for the deer, i just saw an article about flamingoes roaming the streets of Mumbai! imagine that for flamingo Friday!

This is so charming! Isolated deer hanging out with total access to the fruits on the tree. Love the colors in the tree and the bricks that frame the tree and the deer.

Oh gosh, fabulous sight Junko. There are some most unusual things happening aren't there?

What a beautiful photo!!! ...and all those people in the parking lot? What do you suppose THAT was about?! It's getting more and more difficult to truly know what we're supposed to do these days!

I am pleased you could get this image and stay away from all those families that were crowding the carpark. What a beautiful tree the deer is munching on.

Neat capture. Amazing how the animals have ventured out of their hiding places. Maybe it's not such a bad thing having us all hidden away!

Wow. Nice capture. So weird to see a deer in an urban environment. I hear in Scotland that there are lots of problems with birds nesting in school yards, because there are no kids around. They are concerned about what will happen when schools go back.
