June heralds spotty deer season. A mama white-tailed deer gave birth to twin fawns in my friend's yard. The babies keep a low profile during the day while she is gone.
All babies need lots of sleep. This little fawn was distracted by the ants that used her as a highway to get back to their colony under the tree.
Eventually sleep caught up to her.
Fawns have excellent camouflage that helps them blend in with the sun-dappled forest — or a residential back yard.
