Whitetail Deer Crossing the Trinity River-Habitat Changes

These two photographs of whitetail deer crossing the Trinity River show how much land can change in two years of dry times. The scene in the first photograph was taken in 2011 the second in 2013 during late October and mid-November respectively. During this relatively short span of time, the river became marshland and was invaded by plants that could tolerate intermittent inundation by water. Fort Worth was experiencing an eight year long drought during this time.
