2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Starlings and deer, Washoe Valley, Nevada, united States
Starling Murmuration and Deer Herd

Species: Starlings and deer | Location: Washoe Valley, Nevada, united States

Trying out my new lens, I stopped to photograph a herd of deer that spend time in a local alfalfa field. I was surprised by these starlings as they rose into the air after I was ready to take the shot. Nice surprise!
