White-Tailed Deer
Odocoileus virginianus

From the National Audubon Society's Field Guide to New England.
White-tailed deer are about 3 1/2 feet tall and 6 feet long. Males are 1/3 heavier than females. They are a rich reddish brown in summer and gray-brown in winter. Their ears are large, their nose and hooves black. White is seen on a ring around their nose, eye rings, the throat, midbelly, and the underside of their tail. 

They communicate danger by loud snorts and flee with their white tail erect. They can run 35 mph, clear 8-foot tall obstacles and leap 30 feet.

Breeding occurs in October and November. Bucks wander widely to find receptive does. There are usually 1-2 fawns in late spring that are  reddish orange in color with many white spots. They are able to nibble greens at 2 to 3 weeks and are weaned at 4 months.
