Paul Jhona writes, “A little over a week ago, came upon this fawn in the tall grasses bordering Whitewater Creek in my back yard. Grabbed the drone and took several photos and a five second video. It was maybe 2-3 days old.
The mother had put it there. Nature has built into the little fawn not to move. There also is no scent. A predator could walk right by. Stayed there for the next three days turning a little over that time. On the 4th day it was gone. Hopefully it ran off with its Mom. Nature is amazing. Sometimes you never know what is just a few feet away from you!
Our thanks to Paul Jhona for this fascinating photo.
