Fawn hiding in the grass

When fawn are less than about two weeks old their mothers leave them hidden and come back periodically when the coast is clear so they can nurse. Often times people confuse this thinking the fawn has been abandoned. People take them in and try to bottle feed and raise them. I took photos of this fawn this morning after hearing about Sam the ranch owner seeing it and then loosing sight of it while I was talking to him on my cellphone. I eased out in the grass where he last had seen it and found it. I can tell you I barely spotted it as you can see it was well hidden. You might note it has and ear pointed my way even though I was doing my best version of a quiet stalk.
