Spring Fawns

The deer in our neighborhood are starting to give birth to this year's fawns. Within the last 24 hours we have seen three fawns.

This afternoon, while grandson Reed and I were at our barn, we saw this fawn walk into the field and bed down. Reed was able to get within a few feet of the fawn, but it was hard to keep 3½ year old Reed from getting too close.



In between controlling Reed's urge to get closer I was able to get a few photos of the fawn.



Since I wouldn't let Reed get too close to the fawn, he thought the fawn might be hungry and tossed it some grass, with one blade landing on the fawn's head.
