Oh, my. I hope the little one has just been parked there while mom is out foraging (but 8 hours seems like a long time). It looks like a nice shelter for him/her. What a cutie. How close did you have to get to snap the second pic?
Baby was gone by 5 AM this morning. I've read that it's common for moms to park new fawns here and there for long stretches. And if she has twins or triplets, each fawn gets placed in a different location so that if a predator gets one he won't get both, or all three. So maybe there's more than one.... I'll know soon. The close-up shot was taken from about 7 or 8 feet away.
