Memorial Day weekend roaming the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Virginia's Eastern Shore
These are Sika Deer, or Japanese Deer. They are significantly smaller than our native Whitetail Deer, and may be closer related to elk than deer. They are often seen on Assateague Island. They are more nocturnal than the Whitetail and best chances of seeing them might be just before dusk.
