The Babies Are Here

They have arrived!

Yesterday we spotted, for the first time, the new twin fawns. Aren’t they adorable? It’s not unusual for does to have twins – at least not around here.

We have the good fortune to be witness to new fawns every spring, and often there is a set of twins. These two, and their mama, are looking very healthy. We are thankful for that.

For the next year we will watch as these two grow. They will be quite lively in the next few weeks. We’ll watch them nursing, running around and playing, and learning to be cautious from their mother. Eventually, as fall progresses, we’ll see their spots fade into winter coats.

But for now, we’ll just enjoy these new little beings.
