the world! Not surprisingly it is very different from ours and this is why deercams are a valuable management tool.

What do deer look at? Most of the time they’re looking at each other! But they also look at the foods they plan to eat and the routes they plan to take every day.

The study is being expanded with a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop smaller, higher resolution cameras and to outfit more deer. The results are expected to shed new light * on deer behavior and answer important management questions. Where do they feed, what do they eat, what are their movement patterns? How do activities differ during the breeding season? How likely are parasites and diseases transmitted to other deer, to domestic animals and to humans? Where do they cross roads? Do they look both ways? Ultimately, deercam videos will be placed on an Internet website for public viewing. Cool!

Just think if we had this in the county. Each morning we could click on the Rappahannock Deercam to see whose azaleas are being 6aten.
