Field Notes

Description:

These two fawns were about 20 feet from me and my 5 small children. They didn't mind us and stopped to graze right there for about ten minutes. Then a third fawn bounded out of the nearby brush and races past them and they followed. We never saw an adult. They had very long tails with white undersides, but didn't look like the white tail dear I'm familiar with from further south.

Habitat:

Edge habitat near a river and deciduous woods.
