There is only one white fawn but we have quite a few other Deer families. The fawns are so sweet. Robert Scarola photographed a young family near his home. He entitled the photo below, "Love."

Robert wrote, "In our little fawn breeding nest in the bushes outside our house we had a second mother have another set of twins. She finally brought them out, and one of them hid but the other was this buff little guy who had to investigate everything, including our wire-protected Ceanothus. He and his mom took a few minutes to share a sweet moment together. We are so blessed to see them and have them so peaceful and protected feeling around our home."

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

Rob Diefenbach recently photographed a newborn fawn with its mother.

Something is handing from the mother, perhaps the umbilical cord?

A white fawn was born on The Sea Ranch this year. I had a report with no photo a week or so ago. When I didn't receive any more reports or a photo I thought the fawn had not survived. But this morning the fawn was spotted with its normal-colored sibling and its mother. When I receive a good photo of it I will share it here.

Here is a photo of the white fawn that was born in 2006.

You can see by its eyes and nose that it is not an albino. It was considered a towhead and did eventually color up. Lynda O'Brien took this photo. She described the white fawn as a magical being.

Thanks to Rob and Lynda for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

I know you've been enjoying Ron LeValley's photos of the newborn fawn sleeping on his front doormat. A friend reminded me of a similar situation from a few years ago. A Doe left her newborn on the side of a street on The Sea Ranch! The little one was fast asleep. You will see that security put up two cones to help keep the fawn safe. David McFarland sent in this sweet photo and I thank him for sharing it with us.

We've also had several white fawns born on the Coast but none so far this year. I'll be posting photos soon.

There is always something beautiful to see on the Mendonoma Coast!
