What is that?

It's a White-tailed deer fawn, no more than a few days old.

The days old fawn shown above also has a sister. The momma and her two fawns have been daily visitors since early June. Here they've ventured close enough to see the glint in their eyes.

The pic you've posted Phil has got me scratching my head in wonderment of how that deer got in that predicament?

Here is a tidbit of knowledge I bet you did not know. I know I did not. Penn State has an ongoing deer/forest research project. They have a blog site dedicated to the work they are doing. They have dispelled so many old wives tales it is amazing. According to a post they had a while back if you see a doe with a fawn(s) after they are weaned, which is generally by mid July, there is only a 50% chance the doe is the mother of the fawns. Apparently fawns will hook up with another doe and run with her a while. I never would have guessed.
There is a whole bunch of good stuff on the research blog site. A recent post had to do with moon phase and deer movement. According to their gps data analysis the moon has no effect on deer movement. |
