On this first day of this New Year, I had a personal first ~ I saw a North American deer with an antler. In my time here in Nova Scotia where I have probably seen dozens if not hundreds of deer, I had convinced myself that the local breed did not grow antlers, well this afternoons visitor proved me wrong.
Initially when
I saw buddy in the backyard, it looked like he had impaled himself with a small
twig, but with the aid of my zoom lens I could see that it was actually a
single antler. Then upon closer inspection through the lens, it was clear that in
the past, he did have a second one.
Below are
the pics of Mr. One Antler, together with some photos I took in June of last
year in the Highlands of Scotland of his much better equipped Scottish cousins ….
