Our mama deer had one of her two 5-day old fawns bedded down in our yard, and we got to watch her feeding the little one and keeping it clean.
A mother fox wandered by them and, fortunately, they were like two ships passing in the night. Mama deer can easily defend herself against a fox, but a fawn at this age is helpless. We don’t want the foxes to know where the fawns are hidden.
