Horner Wildlife Refuge

A large population of deer
thrive on the land surrounding the
observatory. The picture was taken on a Saturday morning in
mid-October,1996. It was the next to last day of archery hunting season.
This animal walked up behind our roll roof
building where I had been waiting
for about half an hour. After the shutter snapped, before running away,
she stamped her feet and snorted fiercely at me.

Just beyond this nice web outside the main
building's front door, is the solar observation equipment and beyond that, one
of the sanctuary's three ponds.
