Below are 3 more shots with momma in front and baby in the background, then a blurry zoom of baby alone. The white spots on it's back look so cute.
Finally the baby must have gotten tired and went and laid down where I couldn't see it. The momma munched happily and every now and then glanced around to check on the baby. After about 45 minutes, a second doe came in to eat, no baby with her. Now these two gals have eaten in our clearing before with no problem, but I guess momma was being protective because she ran off the 2nd deer, several times. The 2nd deer kept trying to creep into the clearing to get some corn, but momma ran her off. Finally momma left, and the 2nd deer was able to come in an eat in piece.
I've never seen a baby deer in person before, so having one come into the yard is very cool!
