The Flash - II

Lest you think all of these deer are just posing for a holy card - many of them are running for their lives.

Don't know why.

But they are...

The Flash - I

As a species Odocoileus virginianus has a distinctive alarm signal.

The flash of a white tail.  Of course they also have a snort.  And a routine of hoof-stomping.  And their distinctive wheeze.  There is even a bleat - sort of like a sheep.  Yet there is nothing more visual than the flash of the white tail after the observer/hunter has been busted.

Thus the whitetail deer.

I have no idea what startled the deer in these photographs - but they were clearly beating it out of Dodge.

I give you The Flash.
