Doe and fawn, and a hawk

Haven't posted anything to B/B in a while, since it seems like only deer are visiting the backyard. And it's not very exciting to see the same type of animal over and over again in the blog. But we did have a hawk pass through today, and last month I took pictures of a doe and her fawn interacting.....

Here's the fawn

Fawn finds something to eat, I cannot fathom what that might be

Here's the doe, also finding food

Doe and fawn find each other

Clean-up time!

The fawn seems to like the attention

Okay mom don't overdo it

The hawk turns out to be a red-shouldered hawk. I had to take this quick picture first, because to get a better picture (without the branch in the way) required that I move the camera tripod. We knew that the hawk would see us moving (inside the house, at the window) because of their superior vision. Hawks are said to have vision that is about eight times more acute than humans.

He's looking at us inside the house, we're about 80 feet from him

Sure enough, as I moved the tripod he flew away. Luckily he flew at an angle where we could appreciate his nice wide wingspan.
