A family in Oregon found this fawn on their front
steps and took this photo. The white spots on
the steps are apple blossom petals. In order to protect the fawn from
predators, the mother doe will often leave the fawn alone while she
feeds or sleeps. The fawns have no odor yet, and naturally stay
absolutely still.
The fawn stayed there all morning (they live in Bend, OR), and the Mama
came to get it after 4-5 hours. Kudos to the people for leaving the fawn
alone knowing Mom would be back.
