Oh Deer!

Last Saturday, we had a newly born fawn in our backyard.

Last Sunday, we had another newly born fawn in our backyard.

The ritual of a deer’s birth is rather unique.

After mom gives birth, she leaves her baby alone for about 24 hours.

By the time she gives birth, mom is very hungry.

So, she goes off in search of food.

The fawn waits patiently for her return.

When mom is in sight, the fawn pops onto its feet, runs over to her and begins nursing.

After nursing, the fawn begins running all over the yard filled with joy.

Mom looks over at this high flying fawn and asks, “What did I get myself into?”

End of story!
