Now is the season to watch fawns — and the season for fawns to stare back at us.
Deer stare at people, and, it seems, this practice starts at a fairly early age. As was discussed in staring contests, this probably results from a deer’s rather poor vision. The deer cannot quite tell if you are there or not, and if there, are you a threat? As it tries to figure this out, it just stares hoping to spot clues.
In tall grass, a white-tailed fawn just stands and stares at a passing human.
Oh well, caution advises departure.
..oh `deer me..cute point and pics..
So, Allan…are you there or not? Don’t threaten!!
THanks, Alistair. I enjoy watching the WT depart with their white flags flying!
Beautiful! Here we have visits from a doe and her two fawns. They are amazingly fast when they run around. It’s always a gift to see them.
