Five-Years Ago Today. Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

While on an afternoon walkabout in my backyard I came upon a small fawn with spots trying to hide behind some weeds. Its mother apparently considered my backyard a safe daycare center. A decade earlier, a fawn was left at my doorstep (20100514). I haven’t seen any fawns yet this year. The deer fence is doing a good job of keeping the deer out and away from the fruit trees and wildflower meadow. The deer continue to patrol the fence looking for a way in.
