@michaelgemar There are deer all over town, and they're kind of used to people. Neighbors were talking on their front porch and this one was sleeping. I was maybe 10 feet or so.
@CDubbs How delightful!

@CDubbs Your yard has been blessed with a baby! 🥹 What a cutie.

@CDubbs Brag away, just keep the pics coming.

@lmgenealogy Yeah, she swung through at dusk last night to pick up her kid from the garden
These are the first couple I got from behind my car and from the second floor. You can just see an ear sticking up.
A UPS driver walked right up that sidewalk to deliver a package. At first I thought it was a rabbit.
They ate all my flowers on that side...
@CDubbs @lmgenealogy Sorry about the flowers. Some years the deer will come through and get my rose buds. I got lucky and they didn't eat them this year.

@CDubbs So you decided to betray her trust by telling the entire internet where her child is?

That's actually a pretty common thing for mother deer to do. They leave the baby in some place they consider safe enough and then they go browse in the area nearby. i once found a fawn like that in my front yard, while the mother was on the other side of the house about 100 meters away!

@wheresalice I did of course, delay the post until they had already moved on

@CDubbs
There's something so very special and affirming when wild creatures feel safe in your presence. -

@CDubbs aha - I almost stepped on one just like that while backwoods hiking once! I was careful to divert around it after seeing it right in front of me, but it did a very good job of keeping still while its mom was presumably off at her meeting or appointment.

@CDubbs Last year, the wife and I headed down to the dock for happy hour, and mom had left this newborn. We, of course, turned around.

@CDubbs When I was in college, I came across two adults asleep beside a creek once when I was jogging to class. When I was leaving class later that day, I came across the deer on the sidewalk near where the creek went through, which was amazing

Wow now that's trust. Congratulations whatever you're doing is the right thing.

I judge people by the animals around them. It is very telling.
