I recently observed the lack of Whitetail Fawn twins this year at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge and my surrounding area in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. I am hoping that there are some twins at the refuge that I simply have not come across yet.
However, I do have fond memories of capturing a pair of fawns back in August 2009. The picture captures the adorable twins sharing a meal and looking content in each other’s company.
To get this shot, I was in my pickup and used a bean bag to rest my camera and lens on the open window. The fawns were in an area called Goss Field at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma, and I was lucky enough to snap this precious moment from the comfort of my vehicle.
