Let them Be 3I0321

They walk on unsteady legs, are fully at the mercy of any creature that approaches, but they are, without doubt, masters of disguise. I cannot even estimate the number of times I have crossed their paths, only to be startled when they bolted away. Mom will leave them for many hours and sometimes days while off finding food. She returns to nurse her fawn in solitude and then coaxes it to stay put. They spend the majority of their first three weeks alone. Once they are able to keep up with mom she will allow them to follow. If you see a fawn bedded down, don’t assume it has been abandoned. It’s normal for them to be alone. Let them be. Mom will return.
