Here is a Mule Deer fawn I took while out and about in the woods near my home. It was a June morning and it's mother had left it while she as off getting breakfast. She left this little fellow by a small pool of water and in as much camouflage as possible due to lack of leaves on the foliage this time of year being early spring still in this area. You'd be amazed at how still and quiet these little things, only a day or so old, can be. Mom wasn't far off and had an ever watching eye on her little one but she was nice enough to allow me to photograph her little one and maybe she was just as proud of it as we are of our young and wanted to show it off.

  1. Look at those ears! You must have been very patient to wait and get the shot with the fawn looking straight on at you. what a precious photo.
