Baby Deer

This morning I looked out in back of our house and saw something that looked like “ears” against the house behind ours.  I got the binoculars to get a closer view and it was a fawn.  This is the first one I’ve seen this season – there will be many more to come.  We walked over and took the photo.  I got within about 5 meters to take the photo.  The mothers will leave the babies for a short time as they go find something to eat.  The babies will stay very still to avoid detection – I could have probably picked it up but that would risk hurting both the deer and me.
