Three fawns (newborn white-tailed deer) rest quietly in the grass. Fawns are often left alone as the mother forages nearby. It is important not to disturb them. Well-meaning attempts to “rescue” fawns can result in disastrous consequences for them, as is true for most baby animals. The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) advises: “If you care, leave them there.” Visit www.dec.ny.gov/animals/6956.html to learn more.
