No Luck!!

Today, John, Sarah and I went to the pond behind the school to find a frog...
Everytime we got close they would stop making noise and we couldn't find them. We did see a bird, but the picture didn't turn out....we will be going back out tomorrow.

Pictured here is the whitetail deer. This organism belongs to the Animal Kingdom, it is in the Phylum Chordata and is in the Class Mammalia.

This photograph was taken by a digital trail camera on my father's farm in Clinton, Arkansas.

I will post taxonomy information when I find a reliable source for it.
