The neighbors
We finally saw a fawn yesterday. I’ve been watching for weeks, but apparently they come later in the spring than I expected. This one was born next door, on a fenced lot of nearly an acre. The fawn is out of sight in the brush most of the time, but ventured out with mama this evening. Mama comes and goes, but the fawn will be on that property until it is old enough to jump the fence.
Last year a fawn was also born on that property, and one evening later in the summer we saw several adult deer on the outside of the fence and the fawn frantically running the fence line but unable to get out. It was hard to watch, but it is probably actually a safe place for a young deer to grow up, out of reach of neighborhood dogs.

Cute! We saw our first fawn around the same time–still tottering, couldn’t quite run after mom. Seems like they’re usually around the first of June, so maybe they were late this year? (Does that happen?) Hope the little fella stays safe and grows up to eat its fill of tulips.
