Field Notes

Description:

Doe and fawn white-tailed deer. The first birth for a for is typically one fawn so I believe this may be the first for this doe.

Habitat:

Suburban backyard.

Notes:

It is Mother's Day today in the U.S. and my family awoke to this beautiful sight. We watched them for about two hours in stunned amazement and the beauty of nature and the love between and a mother and her baby. Happy Mother's Day!
