| A deer had her babies this spring right in front of my window. All day I noticed a deer checking out my yard. I had no idea she was looking for a safe spot to give birth. I took a nap, and woke up to a wet fawn looking into the house. It looked like she had the other one behind the fence. My first instinct was she abandoned them, but I was completely wrong. She had her babies, cleaned them up, and she dissapears for a few hours. She does not want to bring any attention to her babies. Fawn don't have much of an odor when born, so it is to there benefit she isn't around except for feeding. Every night she would return to her young. It was pretty amazing. They slowly grew. The one by the window would only get up when mom came by--roughly 2x day. The babies are helpless to any predators. That is supposedly why the mom keeps them in different spots. Anyways, they now just visit. It's a good feeling they are healthy, and seem happy. |
