Deer, Part 2

Introductory Facts

Watch the 3-minute video "Nine Deer and Me" (or read the book if you have it). A deer community is called a herd, and they can live in herds of up to one hundred thousand. 

Deer are mentioned in the first verse of "Home on the range", as well as the chorus. Review it (from the bison session) and practice singing it.
