Joe Cassetta was in the right place at the right time. Near his Sea Ranch home, around 7 p.m., he saw this Doe give birth to twins. The tiny Fawns are still wet from their birth.

Here they are beginning to explore their mother and begin nursing.

About a week later, Joe spotted the family again, and look how confident the Fawns look now!

Remember to watch for these little ones when driving the coast's roads. If a Doe crosses the road, wait a minute to see if a Fawn...or two...or even three might be following her.

Thanks to Joe for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

Sunny, warm and WINDY! The Pacific Ocean is full of whitecaps today. Upwelling, igniting the marine food chain, is surely taking place courtesy of this northwest wind.

Craig Tooley photographed one of the first Fawns to be born this spring, following its mother.

So small, so precious and so many spots! Craig said that just after he took this photo, the little fawn went under the bushes on the left side of  his photo and took a nap. As Fawns continue to be born, it's important to slow down and watch for them. Fawns follow their mothers, and twin fawns are likely. So if a Doe crosses the road, wait a minute to see if a fawn...or two...or even three might be following behind.

The weather is wonderful. Head for the coast!

Roxanne Holmes wrote, “This Doe left her two Fawns ON OUR FRONT PORCH!! The Fawns made a distinctive, loud, high-pitched squeal when they saw us, and the Doe came running to them.”  After the little ones rushed over to their mother, Roxanne photographed one of the Fawns nursing.

A Doe will stash her Fawns in what she believes are safe places while she wanders off to eat, so don’t be concerned if you see a fawn by itself for a while. And this is the time of year to be especially careful when driving. If you see a Doe cross the road, wait a minute to see if a fawn, or two, or even three might be following behind.

Jan McCormick recently photographed two beautiful newborn Fawns with their mother, the essence of cuteness. With the newborn Fawns, this is the time of year to drive slowly, as Fawns follow their mothers when crossing a road, especially Highway 1.And Craig Tooley spotted this healthy-looking Buck in velvet.

Velvet is a membrane that nourishes the growth of the bones that make up the antler. With all the rains we had, there will be plenty of food for the Black-tailed Deer that also call the Mendonoma coast their home.

Fawns continue to be born on the Mendonoma Coast. A Doe will have one, two, or even three fawns. Craig Tooley photographed a Doe with her twin fawns.

Just Born Fawns in Yard by Robert ScarolaDrive slower this time of year! The Doe will cross a road first, followed by her babies. Just wait a moment or two, and you might have a sighting of your own.
