This little family of mom, dad (not in this photo) and twins have been hanging out in our neighbourhood lately. For some reason I always thought fawns were born in the spring; but I just took this photo on August 17th??

I just Googled it. http://www.the-whitetail-deer.com/whitetail-deer-fawns.html
“A doe goes into estrus in the fall, which means whitetail deer fawns are normally born sometime between late April and early July. Does birth one, two or sometimes three fawns. Though triplets are not as common, twin fawns are often spotted by recreational sports persons and hunters.
At birth, white tail fawns have a spotted reddish coat that is fairly silky. There may be several hundred spots on the coat. The spots enable the fawn to camouflage itself, with the colors blending well with the surrounding natural environment. They usually weigh between 4 to 8 pounds at birth. The whitetail fawn loses its spots by the end of October of the same year it was born, or within 3 to 4 months after birth. “
Thanks Kristen, I never knew their spots lasted so long or they were sometimes born as late as July! These little guys are a decent size so I’m guessing they were maybe born in May or June.
I have a video of my oldest son playing tag with a little white-tailed fawn. One of my favourite memories from his childhood!
Wow, what an awesome video that would be Kathryn! The little deer and your son must look adorable in it!
