fawn in my back yard

Haven't posted in a while, haven't taken the time to get out, which isn't good for my spirit.

I've enjoyed many of the posts that everyone has made, some great photos!

So I was on my small back deck and saw some thick bushes/undergrowth moving about 40 feet away and thought that it must be a big squirrel to make that much commotion.

This fawn eventually showed herself.....I quickly went inside and mounted a longer lens on my body and quietly got back outside and....no fawn.

It had moved to the left about 30 feet, behind some other bushes, and slowly came out to munch on the leaves of a sprouting maple.

If all you have to do is step out the door to see this ... I say step out door more often.

Cheers! And glad that happened for you.
