Columbian white-tailed deer in Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in Ridgefield, Washington, USA. This endangered species of deer that have been translocated from Puget Island, Washington will have bright yellow ear tags and the adults are often fitted with radio collars that help to study their activity. However, those young that are born on the Refuge will not have either of these. The species has a longer and lighter colored tail versus the shorter darker tail of the black-tailed deer.
