Whitetail

I was standing behind my tripod at Caratunk Wildlife Refuge in Seekonk MA trying to get some shots of a Cedar Waxwing when I noticed this young buck walking torward me. I can not believe he didn't notice me. I didn't move my head from behind my camera, but he came so close that he actually was filling the frame too much! I was unsure how close he was, so I moved my head from behind my camera to get a look and he realized I was there and he was quite startled.
