This morning we went out to do some fence repair work and disturbed a little fawn about the size of a fox. She moved herself down along the fence line and disappeared under the brush and the rambling rose.

I saw a doe in the yard a few days ago, by herself, under the big junipers in the front yard and wondered if she was going to give birth. She didn't look pregnant and nothing happened. She did hang around the yard, browsing and eating fallen apples, new growth on my plants, et al.

The mom came back later.
