On the way to Olympic National Park today, we spotted two deer on the side of the road. I'm not sure what kind of deer they are, but one of them seemed to be a contortionist. They also appear to have great hearing since I could get them to look at the camera simply from the sound of the camera shutter, and I was about 50 yards away.
I'm thinking maybe they are mule deer. They definitely aren't the white-tailed deer I see in New England...
