Title: 1st fawns of the season
Post by: wingnut on June 05, 2014, 09:20:00 AM
On my three mile walk this morning I saw two does.  The first had a fawn that was a day or two old and the second had just given birth.  I watched as the fawn stood on unsteady legs and wabbled over to mom for a first meal.  I moved quietly away to leave them in peace.  Sorry I didn't take my phone so no pics.  I'll be carrying it from now on.

Saw one on the way to work this morning that had been hit by a car. What a shame. It was very small too, couldn't have been very old.

Tuesday morning I looked out the window and was really surprised to see these two out back. Not surprised to see fawns,but the size of them. They must have been born real early.

Not fawns, but cute babies anyway!

This is about when I start seeing them pretty regular.  I saw a pair of twins May 8th, earliest I have ever seen fawns by about a month.

Saw a little one with moma this morning in the back yard. They clean out the wife's bird feeder about every 2 days. The fawn never got more than a few feet from moma.
