In mid-autumn I returned to the the Memaloose Hills for a three-mile hike.
The Oak-Savannah habitat appeared to be a great spot to photograph blacktail deer near the end of the rut.
And sure enough, I spotted many deer lying down or feeding near the oak trees.
Only a few miles west of The Dalles, this is a fine place to photograph wildlife.
And to all my followers, may you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
