Baby Deer Season 6-5-2022

 

We spotted the first baby deer of the season today, about 7:30 pm in the pasture/yard west of the house.  They came up closer to the house and were right at my shed door for a while.  Here's a few pictures (taken from inside the house) - they are really skittish if you try to get too close.  This little guy is probably less than a half hour old.  Mama deer was still licking him, making sure he was dry for the first hour of his life.  Walking, and running very shakey still, but was nursing and also trying to eat grass!
