Mom Deer and a Baby Fawn

Back in June I took this photograph of the back of our property line and forgot to post it! I wanted to show you the Mommy dear with her new baby! You have to look close in the tree line to see the baby which looks to be about 2 months old at the time…maybe a little less.

Female deer are called Doe and the babies are called Fawns. The baby still has a lot of “spots” on it so it’s definitely a young one. They’ve been stopping by our property for several weeks to hangout, eat, and get a drink from the local nearby stream. Mom does a great job at keeping the fawn within the tree line so we never get a clear look at it. What a good Mom!

We love when wildlife like this visits our property. This is the first time in several years since we’ve had deer stopping by. Too cute!
