Well, I'm back. With a ton of photos to process, questions to look for answers to (serious and silly, both), plants to identify. But first, a few more photos of those baby fawns.

Fawns are able to walk within an hour or so after their birth, but may be wobbly for a few weeks. The smaller one here (usually the males are a bit larger) had a bit of trouble getting to her feet when the mother moved away.

| Mom's going away! Better follow her. |

| A shaky start. |

| Coming, Mommy! |
The doe has been hiding her youngsters in the bush behind my house this week.

Estoy de vuelta. Y tengo toneladas de fotos para procesar, muchas preguntas (serias y locas), plantas que requieren identificación ... Pero primero, aquí hay más fotos de esos venaditos.
Los cervatillos se levantan y caminan dentro de unas pocas horas después de haber nacido, pero por unas semanas pueden tambalearse. A la más pequeña de estos dos (generalmente los machos son más grandes desde recién nacidos) le costó trabajo echarse a andar cuando la madre se iba.

- "¡Mamá se fue! ¡Vámonos!"
- "Estas patitas se me doblan."
- "¡Ahí vamos, mamá!"
La madre ha estado escondiendo sus cervatillos entre los arbustos atrás de mi casa esta semana.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
