I came home this afternoon to find this little lady (guy) in my back yard. Eventually it ran off, hopefully to find its mother

Absolutely. This was a tribute of sorts. :P

Um... but in my version, Bambi heeds my warning and escapes just in time. There. A very happy ending after all. :)

I'll add my waggling finger here:
Ken, you just wrote a chapter of "How to make enemies and alienate people"
Booooooooooooooo!!!!

Actually, Ken, I recall laughing hysterically when I first saw that 'toon. Tickled my funny bone to no end. Still does!

Me too- ROTFLMAO!

Great shots! I almost got their twins 2 hours ago. I went out to shoot birds tonight and I was concentrating on the branches above me for signs of feathered critters. At one point I glanced around and realized that there was a fawn lying in the leaves about 25 feet from me. I turned around and tried desperately to change my camera and lens settings as the fawn slowly got up and stretched leisurely before casually wandering behind some *%&@%! brush. It would have made a hilarious video. :-(

what a little sweet thing it is ....where do you live ????

Well, I debated on posting the godzilla or a graphically violent suicide image. I picked the one that would cause the most outrage. :P

take that as a joke please

BTW, Those really are great shots - I just couldn't help myself. And I am sorry, but it wouldn't be the first time I've made the girls cry. ;-)

For a short period, maybe a week at most, while the fawn is still to young to keep up with the doe while she forages, the mother will bed the fawn down in a place she thinks is safe in mid-morning to return an hour or two before dark. If not discovered or disturbed they often return again the next day to "park" the fawn in the same place. The fawn's instinct tells it to stay put and wait for mom's return which makes them extremely vulnerable to predators. I shot this one at that same stage.

If they ran from a predator they would die 100% of the time. There only defense is to fall to the ground and let there momma lure the predator away. She will make sure they chase her. Fawns dont leave scent like a grown deer.
