Breakfast with Bambi the Whitetail Deer Fawn (day 32)

Back in July, Bambi followed us home from an evening walk. The previous evening, we saw a nursing doe that had been hit and killed in the road. We assume that was Bambi’s Mom. He was very dehydrated and starving. The choice was either feed the baby or watch it starve. This guy was too little to fend for itself.
