deer fawns summer babies wildlife back yard

When it was really hot these little guys came to my yard to get cooled off ealy one morning. After all three ate some flowers they headed over to nurse. This was my best wildlife encounter I've ever had. Useally the babies don't come into the yard for long. So I was shocked to see them all together in the yard.

Thanks for sharing this story and the great photos of the deer family. I love wildlife and can just imagine how thrilled you were to find them in your own yard.
