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.

Thanks to Roxanne for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
