Squeeeeeeee!

Tucked away by mama at our back door this morning!!!! Sorry the picture isn't better, but did not open door to get a better one.

A little education...mama will often tuck babies away somewhere they feel they will be safe while mama goes out to forage. The fawns will often be left along for up to 10-12 hours before mama comes back. They are perfectly fine during this time and have not been abandoned.

@MamaWick 😍The blessings of new life! Congratulations on your newest granddeer!

I hope you won't use that back door. I know I wouldn't.

Of course the doe tucked her fawn safely next to your home. She knows that it is a safe and happy place!

I wonder if it was one of the does from yesterday. 🥰

Welcome to the world little one.

Well, of course that mom knew very well this was the safest place to be @MamaWick and Papa Wick's! Such a beautiful sight!

It must have been all you could do to restrain yourself from going out to give a great big squeee hug and kiss!

Thank you, I learned something new today MamaWick.

I can't think of a higher compliment than the mother trusting you with her baby.

Enjoy every moment of her "visit"...Just beautiful.

What a beautiful delicate Bambi!!!! I am sure the mom will keep it safe and sound while she is looking for food. Of course leaving the lovely Bambi at the Wick's says much, there is lots of kindness, trust and love at the Wick Haven and the forest friends sense and know that. New life, nature's gifts.

Most of you probably know but newborn fawns don't have a scent so predators aren't easily drawn to them. Plus when placed somewhere like Mama Wick's they're extra safe.
