I made a post earlier on the Great Blue Heron rookery in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park but left out one part. As I was taking photos two deer broke cover and ran below the rookery. This is a beautiful park even with the lack of greenery at this time of year.
I would say it was a mother and a first year youngster.
The heron had little choice as they broke through the area. I had not even seen these heron because they were on the opposite side of where I was shooting. Check out the heron right in their path.
He did get out of the way as they got closer and in a minute everything was calmed down.
There are a lot of great world post to visit, join in to have some fun.

Oh, what terrific photos, FG! Can almost hear the deer shouting for the heron to get out of the way! Delightful post and photos, as always! Thanks for sharing!
Great shots!
Those deer running away is marvellous. You know viewing it's just an image that came out of knowhere that you had the gumtion to capture. The heron just made me laugh
What a beautiful moment with the mother and the child!
I wish you for the six months anniversary, many many more people to join your meme. You do great work.
It's nothing like watching nature real life right?
Hope you had a wonderful Easter Sunday.
Hey Tom , so good are these shots.
Oh nice photos, I love the bounding deer! It's so nice to see them running about and good thing the Heron's decided to get out of the way!
Great photos! Thanks for sharing this part of your world with us.
That made for some excitement on your walk. Interesting scene. You were quick to catch it all in photos.
Incredible photos,as always.Great shots!Glad the heron got outta the way.
This post is something straight out of National Geographic! Wonderful nature shots, Tom.
That's the kind of surprise I like! Such a fine photo opportunity. ;-)
Awesome. Great timing!
what a great catch of not only the deer but the heron as they flew by.
enjoyed very much.
Hello Tom. I wonder who got the biggest fright the heron or the deer? :) A lovely post. You get to see such amazing things there where you live.
Sometimes nature surprises you. And you get a wonderful post! Good work to keep shooting and catch the encounter.
Great picture. I love the little moments in nature when something sudden happens and then all is quiet.
Wow! What great photos! That heron really is lucky he didn't get "deered" over!
Speedy wildlife!
What wonderful wildlife scenes. I agree that it seems like a charming place to visit. One can only imagine the great beauty of it when things turn green. The deer are such dears.
Wow stunning photo's. To have such nature so close to you, its just wonderful. Hope you had a lovely Easter.
real beautiful photos! nice week!
Lucky, lucky, lucky! Isn't it great when they pop up like that?
What great photos and to be able to get the deer and the herons at one sitting is great. The herons in our neighbourhood are always so indignant when they are disturbed and sound like some ancient dinosaur when they depart. Thank you for sharing and have a great week.

Great capture of the wildlife, looks pretty cold and stark there.
Beautiful deer! Almost misseed these.
That is a fun scene.Your world looks similar to mine.
Love the deer!
Wonderful Tom, we were lucky enough to come across a herd of deer whilst doing some geopcaching at the weekend. If you get time to pop in to my blog, roll down below MW to our Lost in Texas post to see.
THese are fantastic photos! I especially love the first one. And this is 6 months old? Wow! (And I'm impressed you keep track so well. Or is it in the title and I just haven't noticed, in which case I'm still impressed.)
Good captures, you must of been very quick with your camera. Deer look so neat as they bound away with tails flashing.
Don't you wonder what that heron thought?
