We first "met" the baby deer the first weekend that we were working on the fence. Someone was here who had worked at the Dallas Zoo and said from his experience, the baby was probably only a couple of days old.
Due to the steep incline and chain-link fence around the edge or our property, the baby couldn't get out. First thoughts were that momma had abandoned the little one. But then we started seeing her with the baby again. The momma was looking very weak and thin. She didn't look like she could take care of a baby. So we decided to get some corn and nurse her back to health so she could take care of her baby.
We haven't fed them in a while and now this evening I noticed the corn bucket has been tipped over. You think they are trying to tell us something? It's a good thing we have the new Willow trees' trunks wrapped.
Momma is the closer one here and the one keeping an eye on me as I shoot a few photos.
