Fawn!

It’s hard to see in the photo, but there is a tiny fawn nursing the doe. I noticed her walking up the path and then watched from my bedroom window as she walked into the tall plants. Then I saw the tiny fawn stand up to nurse! You can imagine how excited I was! I couldn’t get too close without disturbing them and was disappointed when the doe led the fawn across the road and into the woods.

She must have felt the fawn was safe near the house, however, because I saw her feeding and cleaning the fawn in the meadow several days. Here’s a video.

She seemed to lead the fawn into the cooler woods during the day and bring it back later. I think they moved on when the fawn got strong enough to keep up. Here they are meeting with Vee in the feeding area (video). I have seen only one fawn so far, but I know there will be more!
