Allegany State Park Deer
We went for a drive yesterday, when Bob came home from work (3:30 pm). We drove, first, to a dead end street alongside the Allegheny River here in Warren PA. One of Bob’s coworkers told Bob that he sees an eagle often, sitting in a tree on one of the river islands. We didn’t see an eagle.
Leaving the riverside, we drove along the eastern side of the Allegheny Reservoir and through Allegany State Park. We didn’t see any wildlife, as we drove PA Route 59, PA Route 321, PA Route 346 or NY Route 280. I am glad that Bob decided to add a drive through Allegany State Park, as we saw 14 deer at various places in the park.

Sorry deer; there is no entertainment at the amphitheater in the Winter!

My new camera did a good job focusing on this deer that had brush all around it.

These deer very near the road.

I stayed inside our car, but the deer feeding very near the road were not afraid of us.

This deer looks like it is talking to me.

Peek-a-boo! I see you!

Leaving Allegany State Park, via the Red House Exit, we took I-86 to the Steamburg NY exit and drove along the western side of the Allegheny Reservoir. We saw eight more deer, during this portion of the drive. All total, we saw 19 deer!
We stopped at Arby’s for dinner. Bob had a salad with a cookie. I had a beef ‘n cheddar sandwich with curly fries and a mint chocolate shake. The shake is available only for a limited time each year. It is a once-a-year treat for me.
We returned home around 7:30 pm.

Hello, love the pretty deer. Great series of photos. Happy Friday, enjoy your day! Have a great weekend!
You got great pictures of the deer with your new camera!
It is always a good day when we see some sort of wildlife…maybe next time you will see the eagle. But 19 deer and some good pics is not a bad drive at all!
