Description
While outside bird watching at an area of wild tree stands which are behind a field meadow, I sometimes see the wild deer come meandering through. These twin fawns were coming through the shady edge of the trees and trying to figure out where mom went. They mostly have a mind of their own but do not want to get too far from their mom. I had a long lens on my camera, so I was able to get this image without scaring the little ones. It is not uncommon for the doe deers to have twin babies.
White Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are herbivores and the smallest of deer in North America. When running they can actually sprint up to 30 miles an hour and leap up to 10 feet in the air. These deer are usually found in brushy and wooded areas. It is estimated there are more than 3 million deer in Texas.
