Using a Canon EOS Rebel T3i, one doe was photographed leading her two fawns across the marginally frozen Little River at 1647hrs on 02FEB14. The doe was likely either searching for food or following a migratory route to seasonal territory. It is plausible that populations of deer and other organisms with similar food sources were concentrated on the south (located on left in picture) bank. Using neurological pheromone detection, deer can detect the presence of competitors. The thin ice near the north bank covering the river’s freezing cold waters was thick enough to support the weight of the deer, but a warmer winter would prevent deer from crossing. If the deer are not able to cross, they may obtain fewer nutrients, possibly resulting in pregnant deer giving birth to smaller or fewer offspring, or having no offspring at all.
