Observations about these pictures.
Another nice selection covering most of the
first three hours.
At about
the 15-minute point, I got several really good shots of the
fawns on their feet but looking a little uncertain about why
they were. As always, in 7862D, Mama Deer was quite
encouraging and attentive.
Another
series in the 8070s was very cute with one fawn snuggling over
Mama Deer's shoulder while the other still looks bewildered.
Unfortunately the sun was still low and the ringlets of fur on
the fawns was glistening wet, so most of those pictures had more
glare than most. 8075D still is a very cute picture.
At
around 8990, I snapped another great set with one fawn
exploring the tall green stuff while the other kept an eye on me
through Mama Deer's hind legs. I laugh every time I see the
expression on that fawn's face in 8991D.
9054D
shows a fawn looking more like a fawn than a little dark lump in
the sand with ears and legs askew. This one seems to have some
trouble managing the hind legs in coming down the side of the
little gully.
Reminder: I have added the time of the
photo to give you an idea about how old the fawns are. At about
7:10 that morning, I discovered Mama Deer standing in the
abandoned sand box and I thought I could see a little one below
her. She had just delivered the two fawns minutes earlier.
I'm guessing they were born at maybe 7 a.m. or a few minutes
after. So if you confirm the photo's time with 7 a.m., you will
have a very close estimate to how old the fawns are in each
picture. Click on the thumbnail picture to see a larger view. |
