Sika in the Grasses





While trolling the Assateague Island's Wildlife Loop last fall we spotted this sika hind feeding on the tidal grasses in Snow Goose Pool. She was 100, maybe 150, yards off the road. Sikas come from Asia and were introduced to Assateague Island in the early 1900's. We don't see sika every time we drive the Loop but we do occasionally see one.
