Roadside Fawn

This is my fifth fawn encounter this spring. As we were returning home this morning, we saw an animal cross the township road in the distance. I thought it was a fox at first, but I soon saw the white spots of another young fawn.

The fawn stood at the edge of the road as we approached and I was able to get out of the car and walk closer.
The fawn walked into the weeds along the road and stated to make soft bleating calls for its mother. It must be feeding time.
I was able to walk within 3 feet of the fawn, which looked to be more concerned with its next meal than with me. It continued to walk into the brush as I headed back to the car.
