Deer in a Spring Meadow

A deer walks through lush, bright green meadow plants, jumping over a small stream, and eats large mouthfuls of plants at Mount Rainier National Park.

Every spring the snow melts away and the park is carpeted in a new color as lush vegetation emerges from the rich, moist soil. This black-tailed deer certainly appreciates the reappearance of spring plants in this short Mountain Moment. Filmed June, 2011.
