Finally, one fawn has appeared. I've been looking for fawns since we arrived 6 weeks ago, but none made an appearance. Then on Wednesday, I saw this little fellow. But by the time I found my phone, he was hopping into the forest following his mama. She was walking very elegantly...and he was springing behind. Such exuberance.
The next day, one of my helpers saw him by himself in front of the shed. That proved that I was not seeing things. There is a fawn in the backyard. Yesterday, mama and baby made 2 appearances. I caught the first one on camera, he was running behind the truck and I got a great picture of my truck...none of the fawn. About an hour later, mama comes strolling across the backyard and trailing behind is her springy little fawn. At this age, fawns don't walk. They jump, gallop, and twist in delight as they make progress in the backyard.
While I was happy to see the little guy cavorting around, I was not able to take a great picture of him. I was in the screened porch and I knew if I left the protection of the porch, mama and baby would scamper in the woods. I did my best and took a picture thru the screen. It's not clear, but there he is. The first fawn of 2025.
Welcome to the world little fawn!
