White-tailed Deer Fawn

Thanks my husband has much better pictures of her. She was quite small. Small enough to have fit through the gated-off area. I was a bit concerned but she didn't seem alarmed at our discovering her.

Thanks Janet, I was not aware that they had done this. The head does look a bit more like the head of an adult rather then a fawn, so you may have the better suggestion for this spotting.

Could be a Sitka Deer. They were introduced to Maryland for hunting and for parks

Madison, your spotting is that of a white-tailed deer fawn. A fawn is a young deer which was born this spring. It will lose its spots by fall. Generally the spots will disappear by late August or very early September. I can only speculate as to the reason this fawn was spotted here. I hope its mother is safe and well, and still able to nurse this young one. Welcome to project noah.
