Deer in Father Hennepin Bluff Park, Minneapolis
A white-tailed deer navigates a snow-covered slope in Father Hennepin Bluff Park, a natural area situated along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. The park, established in 1961, preserves a significant portion of the river's bluffs and offers a rare glimpse of urban wildlife. The presence of the deer highlights the park's role in providing habitat within the metropolitan area, contrasting with the adjacent urban development visible in the background.
