Mule Deer
July 2012
Antlers on Mule Deer (Odocoilus hemionus) bucks are approaching full size but still have the fuzzy velvet skin on their antlers. This "velvet" will be rubbed off by September and the bucks will use them to contend with other males during the early winter mating season.

Yosemite Falls is fed mostly by snowmelt. Peak flow usually happens in late May, but by August, Yosemite Falls is often dry. It begins flowing again a few months later, after winter snows arrive.
