Bambi’s Mother?

 

pregnant deerWe have had daily visits from a very pregnant deer. I can’t get a better picture for she runs away if I get too close, but I can see the knobs and angles of a fawn inside. The deer on the island can be destructive to plants and flowers, but I won’t shoo this one away. Let her eat all the grass and tender new shoots she wants and make a beautiful, sturdy spotted fawn.

  1. We once had a pregnant mule deer come to our house. She was starving! So much so she even ate from our hands. We could see the little guy inside just kicking away.
