This was such a surprise this morning to see this very tiny guy run across our front lawn. Now I have to confess that this picture is not the actual fawn I saw. He was too fast so I stole a picture from google images as he looked exactly the same. As you would know by my blog we have lots of deer in our neighbourhood and have had for many years but I have never seen one this young.
He went to the neighbours yard and hid behind a bush on their lawn. This next picture is an actual picture of him. The neighbour phoned 'Fish and Wildlife' and they said that mom would come back for him probably in a couple of hours. Apparently she puts the fawn in a safe place and then she goes away to eat. When she comes back. several hours later, she will then feed the baby. Obviously the little one didn't stay where she put him as he was running around and found a new hiding place. He probably got in trouble when she finally found him for not staying put where she put him. The fawn was gone by supper time so I hope they were reunited and went off to a new hiding place.
What a cutie! I'm sure mom showed up again and gave it a scolding for wandering off.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you're right. There have been several deer wandering around today but no sign of the fawn.
DeleteI think he is trying har to stay hidden in your photograph.
ReplyDeleteYes, the neighbour said he didn't move until mom came.
DeleteWhat a treat to see such a cute little one : )
ReplyDeleteYes it was. Hope to see him again.
DeletePrecious!
ReplyDeleteAww, would you look at him. Amy would have sneaked him upstairs into her bedroom within minutes lol. What a wonderful thing to see in real life. xx
ReplyDeleteYes it was very special. Nobody got too close as we didn't want to put our scent on him. Haven't seen him since.
DeleteSo sweet. You are very lucky to have had the chance to see that little one.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
We have lived here for 42 years and this is the first fawn we have seen.
