Twins
Just one faun
Going the other way the first day.
For Budde , who requested a bear, but this is the best I can do for now.

Interesting photos of a doe with twins
What is interesting about this, is that while taken at two different times and dates, the doe is in almost the exact same pose, and within one inch of the same place. If you click and enlarge, & look at her right leg, there is a stalk of grass in front of it in the first photo, (and a small seed pod) and it is also visible 1/2" or so behind her leg in the second picture. The lighting is a little different, but the same weeds are visible. Coincidence? Or do they walk on earlier tracks. I am not really sure that it is the same animal, although I suspect it is. If so, she lost one of the fauns, as there was only one in the second series of photos.

Maybe the other fawn just didn't make it into the second photos. I have seen em that small a long ways from mom on numerous occasions. I see a doe who has twins almost every year. She hangs out very close to my Northern Bee yard during the day and has gotten quite used to me and doesn't panic when I walk in and I have noted several times she is 30 or more yards away from her little fawns.
ReplyDeleteIt would have triggered the camera. We have a lot of predators, coyotes, big cats, and even bear if they get a chance. There were also night photos of the twins. She has twins every year & stays pretty much in the same area. Lots of bears here, but so far they have stayed clear of the yard & my bees. I think having Daisy the pound hound around helps.
DeleteI couldn't tell from the photos but don't the fawns have spots like our white tail deer do?
ReplyDeleteSure they do. The pictures are just a little blurry because they are moving. Even the elk calves have spots when they are young.
