Description

MULE DEER AT MAXWELL NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE by PRISCILLA BURGERS

A pair of mule deer graze in a field at Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge. Both mule deer and white-tailed deer are resident mammals at Maxwell. Mule Deer and Whitetail Deer are closely related cousins. Mule deer are larger in body size than white-tailed deer and have large, mule-like ears. Whitetails have white colored fur under their tails; mule deer have white tails with black tips. In the background of this image is part of the Sangre de Christo Range. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains (Spanish for "Blood of Christ") are the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains. They are located in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico in the United States. The mountains run from Poncha Pass in South-Central Colorado to Glorieta Pass, southeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The mountains contain a number of fourteen thousand foot peaks in the Colorado portion, as well as all the peaks in New Mexico which are over thirteen thousand feet.

The name of the mountains may refer to the occasional reddish hues observed during sunrise and sunset, and when alpenglow occurs, especially when the mountains are covered with snow.
