Shocker to See in the Middle of July

Was coming home from taking care of a few things earlier and saw a baby deer (fawn) in a neighbor's yard. I snapped this photo from the passenger window while riding. Not a clear photo but the best I could do. Shocked to see this baby grazing in the middle of the day. I am sure the parents were close by in the woods perhaps. Made me smile to see the spots, like Bambi. Had to share with you. Do you see wild animals in your world?

WE see baby deer all the time. They come from the mountains in pairs.

Lucky you, I used to before all the new homes were built. Even then it was very odd to see one in the middle of the day in July.

I noticed the same thing today. I was driving home on a very busy road and looked over into a vacant field to see a couple of deer grazing in the middle of the day. Very surprised to see them out at this time of day. I wonder if the heat is making it hard for them to bed down during the day?

@CarolDM I feel bad for all those poor animals that are stuck in that heat all day long. I sure they're used to it, but that still doesn't make it any more comfortable for them.

How cool. I was surprised to see this little one.The heat probably does have something to do with it.

Every day. We have deer, turkey, and other critters to glore. Yesterday, a fat little buck was trotting near my cabin. He's young.

@CarolDM It's so normal here. I even name the regulars. Four of the turkeys show up when we give our senior horse her supplements. They come right up to us gobbling away wanting some tossed their way.

@noni1959 Used to have more here until we got lots of new homes that came in. The dairy farm nearby was sold for the homes to be built unfortunately. Growing up we had tons of animals around us. I miss those days.

the "herd" in the greenway beyond the edge of our walk area, had three fawns this year. Always amazing to see.

@CarolDM the fun thing is all three made it so far. But the only predator around here for Deer are four-wheeled carnivores.

On my walks I often see small animals, but haven't seen any deer for long time. Only ever seen mujac deer here and fully grown they are about the size of the fawn

Very neat! I actually think that's a pretty good quality picture. Yeah, at my parents place (they live outside of the town I live in), I see lots of birds, butterflies, and dragonflies, and other cool stuff. Nothing too crazy, but still nice to see.
