where is your Mama?


This new white tail fawn was hunkered down in our neighbor's front yard late yesterday afternoon. The little apple tree he is under is only about 5' tall, no more than 15' from the street, with kids, bike riders and people walking dogs (us) close by. Mama must have told him to sit still, and he did...never moved a whisker or an eyelash. Jack Sparrow (Wonderdog) never knew he was there, I am not sure why I noticed him. There was all kinds of other good cover close by, no idea why she chose to bed the fawn down there. He was gone this morning, so hopefully the doe picked him up from "daycare" last night. Either she is woefully inexperienced or a wise old mother who subscribes to the theory of "hidden in plain sight".
