A fawn lying in someone's back yard. Deer are NOT like horses. They do not have their legs under them immediately and need time to rest after birth. Horses get up and go. That's the sign of a healthy horse. A healthy fawn will curl up, nap most of the day and occasionally move their heads. Just like me.

   Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife
