The whitetail deer has become aware of the camera, which makes an audible click while snapping a picture. In this photograph, he is not looking directly at the camera, but beyond and to the side of it. In the next, he will stare directly into it. The camera is a Primos Truth Cam 35 wildlife camera that has been mounted on a tree for several days, and in various parts of the forests of Petra, Maine since before the snow melted this spring. The camera makes an audible click when snapping a photograph, and I have found that evokes curiosity rather than alarm from its subjects.
