Don't Disturb Her Breakfast!

[Richard Smith]

Martin Park is an Oklahoma City park that the city operates primarily as a wildlife refuge in the city. It is surrounded by freeways, medical facilities, shopping areas and other development. Yet it attracts a good deal of wildlife and is kind of an oasis in the city. It's a favorite place for me to take a morning walk. This morning I shared my walk with this Whitetail doe. She was a bit concerned by me but mostly didn't want her breakfast disturbed. She let me get within about 15-20 feet of her and watched me carefully but never stooped grazing.
