In mid-July I was up early and out at Chesnut Park hoping to see some little fawns. It’s best to get there well before 8am because the deer start disappearing into the woods when all of the walkers and joggers show up. It was 7:30 and I was not expecting to see any but as soon as I drove into the park there was a family in front of the baseball field.

I pulled into a parking spot and got out with my camera and hid behind a tree. The baby was staying close to Mom.

There were several does with the Mom and baby and they were busy feeding.

Oh! I think baby saw me. Eventually as more people showed up at the park the family heading into the woods behind the ball field. I left to walk the boardwalks.

A quick walk on the trail and I didn’t see too many birds.

On the back boardwalk I saw a young buck and a doe walking along side of the boardwalk. The buck looked at me funny and I realized they were looking for a place to duck under the boardwalk to get to the other side. I think it was right under where I was standing. I moved down and they went under and disappeared deep into the woods.
