A bright cool Saturday morning. We met nice friends on our stroll: a mama #deer and #fawn; #horses having breakfast. Kengo was very quiet when he saw the deer.
Boundary Waters Park, GA, USA
This young fawn was a new visitor to the yard this morning. The tame two-year-old doe allowed me to get close and even touched her nose to my hand. The fawn was a bit wobbly but also quite active. #Wildlife#Photography
That young fawn has really grown over the summer, and doe and her fawn were in the front yard in full sunlight. The alert ears are due to the cats nearby. #Wildlife#Photography #Deer#Fawn#Deskpicture
Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife
