My Facebook friend, Mike Persichini said that these are not his pictures and were taken by other people. But said he was sad to say that "Broadway" has died from EHD. People have been finding dead deer at the nature center, and it is confirmed they died of EHD in his home state of Michigan.
EHD stands for Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) is a virus that affects domestic and wild hoofed animals. It is transmitted by the bite of a small midge (culicoides) known as “no-see-ums,” gnats, and biting flies smaller than a mosquito. They transmit the virus by biting an infected host and then a susceptible one. And so begins the cycle.
Mike said he is feeling very emotional because he has taken so many photographs of "Broadway" through the years. I'm so very sorry, Mike to hear this.
