On a recent road trip, there were numerous sightings of deer on or near the road. This fawn was in the road, but it ran to one side of the road while its sibling and mother ran to the opposite ditch. I’m sure it was glad when I left so that it could rejoin its family.

Fawn Waiting

The other morning, two fawns were playing down by my pond without their mothers. And three hours later, they were in my front lawn, still without either doe. So I think the two sneaked away from their mommies and probably got in trouble as I didn’t see either of them the next day. This morning I spotted one fawn so was worried something happened to its mother but a few minutes later the doe came racing into the yard (like maybe her kid wandered away again).

Playful Fawn

This evening I spotted the twin fawns again, like I have different times this month, but they weren’t looking towards their mom or me, so not sure what else was in the woods that captured their attention.

Fawns on Watch

I found tiny hoof prints in my pile of new dirt so I think the culprits playing king of the hill were these two twin fawns who have been wandering through my yard different days in the past few weeks.

Playful Fawns

I thought I spotted twin fawns the other day, but it turned out to be triplet fawns playing follow the leader. There must have been some sibling rivalry as none of them got too close to each other as they made their way down the driveway, across my lawn and down the path into the woods. They must have escaped mom’s watchful eye as I never spotted a doe near them.
