Fred is one of the fawns I've watched grow.  I recognize him because of the scar on his head.  He's sure growing!  The first 2 pics are him.

Fred is one darling little guy!

Your herd is adorable, their pics always bring a much needed smile.

I, for one, thank you!

Loving Fred the Fawn!

I understand that most fawns are delicately built, but I remembered my Uncle Fred when I read about your fawn today.  Uncle Fred was, comparatively speaking, the smallest and most diminuitively built of all my maternal grandma's children.

The funny thing is that he was emotionally closest with his brother who played two games for the Detroit Lions during the 1942 season.  My poor Uncle Tom's professional football career was cut short when he was drafted into the Army during World War II.

The Texas deer are unbelievably tiny, especially when compared to the big mule deer or even white tails.  You don't realize how small they are until you see them in person.

Awwww Fred the deer is a cutie! Thanks for posting these wonderful photos!

Heres a white tail deer; mule deer are larger and have huge ears.

Fred is a cutie and I am sure it gave you much enjoyment to watch him grow  Many of us do not have the chance to witness an animal in the wild mature.  I think it is such a gift from nature to have that opportunity.  Thanks for our daily nature trip!!

@Kachina624  having lived in Missouri most of my life, and living 14 years in Wisconsin before retiring to Texas, I agree that Texas deer are smaller.

@MamaWick   Fred is so cute.  I hope he grows into his ears (in the 2nd picture).  I used to say that about my Yorkie when he was a baby.
