Watchful Fawn

Posted by on Aug 20, 2008 in California, Photography, Wildlife | 6 comments

While walking along the beach with my husband’s aunt and looking for photo spots, we rounded a bend and came upon a fawn with its mother. Neither seemed to have any fear. In fact, this photograph was taken with my regular lens, not my zoom, and I did not need to crop the photo in order to increase visibility. I suspect that the deer have befriended people, maybe even seeing them as a source of food instead of a threat.

  2. This deer look to me as if s/he is growling at me. It is to bad that the major natural predator of deer in most settings is the automobile.
