At the observation tower we regularly see many birds and alligators, but while there are some deer in the area, sighting one is a rare thing. I did see one at the lake near our RV site once but on Jan. 27 I spotted one while doing roving interpretation work out at the tower! It was the first reported in that area since the first of the year.

He was a long way out but I think it made a pretty good picture even so.
