This is the same Fawn I posted a photo of Monday. After I photographed it in the brush, it stepped out onto the roadway with its Mom.

How I Got The Shot: Doe Feeding Fawn

I was driving the auto tour road between Reeves Boat Ramp and the 4 – Corners intersection when I spotted the Doe. The Doe was watching a young Coyote that was near the tree line. I parked and began photographing the Doe and Fawn. The Coyote left the area and the Doe left the Fawn hidden in the field. The Doe bedded in the trees nearby. 

I had my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.

Bedded Whitetail Fawn

This Whitetail Fawn bedded near the road at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. A Doe was with the Fawn but she was in a location difficult to photograph.

Whitetail deer are a common sight at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, but spotting a bedded fawn is a much rarer treat. Fawns are born in the spring and are so small and vulnerable that they must hide from predators for the first few months of their lives. When a fawn beds down for a rest, it does so in a location that provides cover and security.

The sight of a bedded fawn is a heartwarming and awe-inspiring moment for any photographer or wildlife enthusiast. They are small, delicate creatures with spotted coats and big eyes, and they have a peaceful and gentle demeanor. Fawns have the ability to remain motionless for hours, which is an important survival mechanism in their first few months. By staying still and blending into their surroundings, they can avoid being detected by predators.

When observing a bedded fawn, it is important to remember that they are wild animals and should not be approached or disturbed. Photographing them from a distance, with a long lens, is the best way to enjoy this beautiful creature. If you are lucky enough to come across a bedded fawn, be sure [Read More…]

What Is Wrong With This Fawn

I watched this Whitetail Doe and Fawn for almost two weeks. I noticed the Fawn has something wrong with its mouth and nose. I researched what this could be and the information I found wasn’t very positive for the survival of the Fawn.

Another dangerous thing for this Fawn is a Coyote I see in the same area. I have seen it on two occasions.
