White-tailed Deer named from the white underside of its bushy tail,
which it flashes to warn of danger.
The Columbia River Wetlands with its patchwork landscape of dense thickets, open grass glades and water, provides excellent habitat for White-tailed Deer. In winter whitetails eat mostly twigs of woody plants and cured herbs. So the cottonwood and willow groves along the valley bottom gives them rich feeding areas as well as good hiding places. With this kind of home there is no need to migrate, allowing White-tailed Deer to live out their entire lives within a 5 square km home range.
