Doe the deer having a lie down

This deer was mingling with two others in McDowell Grove Forest Preserve. I walked in the snow towards them, keeping trees between them and myself as I approached. This doe sat down and I came around the tree I was hiding behind. She didn't move. Was she thinking I didn't see her, but might notice should she move? Did she know I was just some camera nerd? Maybe she wanted to be friends? I don't know. I didn't ask and she didn't tell. Next time I won't be so shy. She actually stayed put as I took a few casual steps to get nearer.
