Deer

She was watching us closely from the brush.

Her fawn was well camouflaged in the shadows.

 

Can you keep a secret?

These two fawns visited the backyard.  They seemed to be telling secrets to each other.  Mom was across the yard, but keeping a close eye.

Fawn

This guy and his mom were feeding right beside the Abbot Creek Greenway.  They weren't concerned by bikers, walkers and dogs going by.  He did stop and watch us while we were watching him.  

Backyard visitor

If we hadn't gotten close, we never would have seen this little guy.  He was hidden under a bush way in the back of the yard.  His mom had parked him there.  She was probably nearby watching.  From what I found out, baby deer do not have any scent, so they are safer away from the mother so predators can't sniff them out.

Mom must have seen us looking at him and come back for him, because a little bit later he was gone.
