Mother Deer and Me By Narda Tate We have a huge oak tree in our side yard that produces an amazing quantity of huge acorns every Fall. In turn, this allows us to see a number of deer each year as they take advantage of the free food. One sleepless night a few weeks ago, I looked out the side door and saw a familiar mother doe with her twin fawns. They were happily munching on the bountiful acorns but then I saw both of the fawns come over to their mother and nurse. I had never seen fawns actually nursing. It was so amazing. Last week, the Mom and her twins were further away in the hay field behind our house and one of the twins was running in huge circles, kicking up his/her heels and leaping just for the pure joy of being alive, young and full of beans. What a sight to be able to enjoy. This evening, there was a doe out in the field just beyond the oak tree. She wasn't eating much because she was totally focused on the bottom part of the hay field. I wondered if this was the mother deer, but since there were no twins with her, I was unsure.
