Steve and Margie Truter had a heartwarming sighting last Saturday. Margie wrote, “Walking along the northern end of Manchester Beach at Irish Beach, a Deer came running towards us through the surf. We backed away from the waves to watch her frolicking through the waves until she was out of sight. We have seen tracks down on the beach before but never one in the water enjoying the waves.”

Margie took a quick video which shows the exuberance of the Doe splashing through the waves.

We know Deer swim in the ocean and in rivers. I have never seen one so obviously playing in the waves. It's quite wonderful to see.

Thanks to Margie for allowing me to share her photo and video with you here.
