Baby Sitting Bambi

Hubby and I were sitting on the

screened porch this evening

enjoying the cool breeze,

listening to the birds singing, watching the 

hummingbirds racing here and there

when hubby spied something......

a baby fawn lying very still at the base of one of our trees

 

We had seen the deer stash their

new born babies on our property

while they went off to graze 

and make milk to nurse them

....but this was not a new born

why had his/her mother left her there????

 

We soon came to a conclusion -

 

There is a house in our area that

feeds the deer

 

Every evening around 5:00 p.m.

the deer always congregate 

there for what we like to call -

 

"The Deer Happy Hour"

.....knowing what nice people we are

she decided we could just keep an

eye on junior while she met up with

some of her girl friends for a 

little refreshment and R&R

 WE WERE RIGHT!

an hour later, here she came

with one of her girl friends in tow,

collected her baby fawn

and off they went into the

woods behind us

Every Little Birdie says-

Deer baby sitting fee - who knows ??? 

maybe $10.00 an hour

 

The chance to actually watch one for an hour - PRICELESS
