We saw these two early Saturday morning. This is probably the doe's first fawn since she only has one. Older does usually give birth to twins and when conditions are really good, triplets. The fawn is somewhere around 1 - 2 months old since it's able to follow along with it's mother. At 3 months, they start to lose their spots as they take on the colors of an adult deer.
They hung around for awhile, just on the edge of the clearing. The doe lay down while the fawn nursed.
And then they slipped back into the underbrush.
