A Whitetail fawn having breakfast just after sunup.

I hope everyone has a great new week.

This curious fawn was not disturbed at all with my presence, this was a blessing because I only had my 50mm lens. Its curiosity invited a photographer with his iPhone who broke the invisible limits and the fawn finally spooked, not before making my day.

They look like they're made from folded card in this pose! :-)

Baby fawn in my pond eating the brush. Not sure where mama is.

Until this moment I never was able to have a good look on roes, let alone to see their off-spring. I was informed there was a field with buckwheat where they gathered regularly.

So I went to that place and stayed there for a few hours, but nothing there.

Then I walked back to my car, and suddenly I saw a doe with two fawn in the distance, and I sneaked towards them. I was extremely lucky, they were standing on a little hill, not in the least worried by my presence. After a while the two fawns started even playing, running around and chasing each other.

This is the shot I like best from a large series of shots.

These 3 whitetail fawns were quite entertaining. They frequently get playful when at the trough. There is always an alpha among them, generally a buck. Looking forward to this year's crop of these little darlings. I'll post more shots of them at play in the future.

Wish my shutter speed had been a bit higher......

May your Tuesday have some fun in it.

Thanks so much for the visit!

Capreolus capreolus / Roe Deer / Srna

Female white-tailed deer will hide their fawns in the grass and leave them there for hours. They do this to keep them safe and hidden from predators. She has a scent and stays away from her fawn or fawns for the first few weeks except to feed them. After she feeds the fawn, she will move it to a new hiding spot. The fawn was hidden in the grasses near a tree.

Traipsing through wildflowers.

In my little town of Oxford, we have a spot where the deer come out and play freely, the frozen food plant feeds them the leftovers, and they are happy and safe in this little town

My first year seeing a fawn so sweet ❤️

I'm off to play in the blueberry field

Thank you all so much for your continued visits, comment and faves

Much Love

A Momma deer urges her little fawn to come follow her so the mean old photog can't get a photo!

I've seen this fawn several times, but never with its mother, so I'm thinking it might be an orphan. It was eating some corn a park visitor left by the trail and wasn't scared of me at all as I stood nearby and took pictures.

it was a hard frost a few Sunday's ago when I went early morning volunteering. Everything was laced in ice and looked magical. This delicate fern frond caught my eye as I walked slowly through the frost gripped valley. Fawn is a beautiful instrumental by Tom Waits.

Thanks for viewing

It’s that wonderful time of year when fawns take flight and fly!

Whitetail Doe and her Fawn.

Thanks for your visits and comments and have a great weekend.

Local whitetail deer youngster

I was watching the NBA finals on TV and saw this happening out the window. I missed most of the quarter watching these two in the waning sunlight.

Check the position of the fawn's tail.

This White-tailed Deer fawn was feeding and wagging its tail near a hawk nest that I am following.

This beautiful fawn was in the soybean field next to my house last night. I saw it around 11:00 PM. The mom and her group were over on the other side of the field and the little fawn was on it's own. I was reading that the mothers leave fawns on their own to keep predators away. The fascinating thing about this encounter is that /I had my beagle dog, Bonzo, with me. He was literally right next to the fawn and could not smell it and did not notice it. The fawns have no scent to help shield them from predators. Bonzo is a beagle and can smell humans, rabbits, cats, etc, from far off yet he cannot get the scent of a fawn next to him Nature is really amazing in that respect.
