Photos of new-born fawns: a rare encounter

It’s not every day that an opportunity arises to witness a new-born fawn in the woods – a rare encounter, indeed.

While scouring woodlots in Essex Township several weeks ago for delectable Morel mushrooms, Matt Dedyne and Nick Lamers happened across not just one newly-born fawn, but a set of twins. The pair of woodsmen were careful and extremely cautious not to disturb the setting in any way – mother doe was certainly nearby and would not have appreciated a "human encounter" with her little babies.
