The Magic of Discovery: Rob Graham Captures a Majestic Deer Buck in The Fog
TweetThe forecast for this November morning in central Kansas called for fog. I woke early, and made the roughly 30 mile drive to Quivira NWR in pea soup fog, in the dark. I had never visited the refuge in fog as dense as that morning. Everything was peaceful. Flocks of geese, heard but barely seen even as they passed overhead, filled the sky.
I drove slowly through the refuge, watching for deer and other wildlife. About an hour after sunrise, I found this buck in a field near the road, grazing while watching for any nearby does. I pulled to the edge of the road, and watched and photographed the buck for quite a while. The fog seemed to isolate the buck from everything else. It was an amazing experience.
Quivira NWR and Cheyenne Bottoms WA are listed as Wetlands of International Importance. Located in the middle of the Central Flyway, both refuges play host to vast numbers of migrating waterfowl. Deer and other wildlife are also plentiful. Both refuges are well worth a trip to central Kansas.
