Backyard deer and the flies that drive them crazy
Jun 29, 2018 16:01:19 #
More deer photos from my backyard in Virginia. The first one shows a doe with a broken back leg. She has been around for almost 4 years now, and had fawns last year. It's too early to know if she was fertile this year as well, because I haven't yet seen any fawns, but time will tell. The other three expose a rather severe deer fly/horse fly infestation that seems unrelenting. Note the deer flies on the face of photos two and three. In the fourth one, a raft of horse flies are seen attacking the doe on the left. The last photo is self explanatory.

Beautiful deer, Gym, and it's always amazing to see how the animals live normal lives in spite of their afflictions like the doe with the broken leg. It does hurt, however, to see them plagued by the nasty flies.
