At our house we put out a Bambi alert and run to a door or window!
We have a doe and fawn, as well as a doe and twins fawns in our forest. I took photos of them earlier, with a fawn being interested in our granddaughter's ball!
This is a photo of one of them on Sept. 15th.
Look how the spots have now disappeared in the photos below. They are happily eating grasses, just like mommy! I'm happy to see they made it through Spring, Summer and into Fall. Their live expectancy is only 3 - 5 years or so.
I was blessed with an early morning view of momma deer and her twins.
Sadly, we found a dead deer in the ditch behind our mailbox. I think it is the mother of the doe with a single fawn.
You can watch mom grooming her babe, still. In winter, the does and yearlings all gather nearby in their winter yard. The bucks gather separately.
