The fawns are back!


This time the does were out too!  Yes, that's plural!  There are two does and three fawns in total that are staying on or around our property.  I think the does have learned the coyotes can't get to their fawns inside of our field fencing so they leave them here when they go out to eat.  I love it!  I'm so happy I was able to move back to the country.  I had missed this!  Let me know what you think of the pictures.

 She's a little thin from nursing her fawns.

We're going to get them a salt block and we might start putting some feed out for them too.  There's plenty to eat in green stuff right now, but the extra calories can't hurt the mommas.  :D

 I wish the fawn hadn't had her head down.  That doe is gorgeous!

 She finally looks up.  So cute!

 Check it out!  I got one doe and three fawns in one picture!  The other doe was hiding.

 
 Such cute babies!!

 A squirrel spotted me hiding behind the vehicles and started chattering, so the fawn went to her mom.

Oops, I'm spotted!  

I LOVE taking pictures of them!  They are so adorable!

  1. Awesome! You're so lucky to have that privilege. Maybe they'll get used to the paparazzi and won't bolt when they see you haha.

  3. How wonderful! This morning on my run, I got to see a little "foxling". He was busy giving himself a head scratch before he noticed my approach and scampered off.
