Fawn size

[First-light]

Seeing a lot of fawns lately. Saw a few  this week 1 was very small must of been born within the week and other ones 3 times as big. I guess its that spread of a month of when they are bred in the fall. Some early some late. This picture has pretty good size one, taken yesterday.

Saw the first fawn 3 weeks ago, right on time I guess.

They let me watch for 5 minutes. I left after that. Nice to see!

Took a ride on my scooter the other day in the late afternoon and saw five different does with fawns near the side of the roads, looks like a good crop this year.

I have seen 3 big deer hit by cars in past week around me in Eastern Niagara County, and 2 of them were on peoples front lawns all 4 legs pointed skyward. Could have been moms to now orphan fawns.

I've seen that also. You can see their belly and can tell they were nursing fawns. Think a month old fawn can make it on their own? Also I read once that Does keep close to roads because they feel safer from predators. Think that is true??

Another set of triplets! I now know of 4 sets in the area.
