“Well Hello Babies!”🤗
New life had returned to our slice of the forest!🤗
“Liz….. they have spots!”☺️
Newborn baby Deer are born with spots. I asked Chat GPT …….”how long does it take for the spots to fade away?”
“Silvertop that’s a good question…….
For white-tailed deer (the most common deer in Washington State):
- At birth: Fawns have bright white spots on a reddish-brown coat. The spots help camouflage them in dappled sunlight while they lie hidden in grass or underbrush.
- Around 2–3 months old: The spots begin to fade.
- By 3–4 months old (late summer to early fall): Most fawns have lost nearly all of their spots and develop their plain brown winter coat.”
Silvertop and the Mrs have been watching, and waiting, for this year’s “crop” of babies, these two are the first!🤗
In a previous post, Silvertop talked about how our five acres must have a very large neon sign over it stating…… “This is a safe place, come on in Lol!”😇
There’s no way to tell for sure if this mother Deer is one of Silvertop and Liz’s last years babies, but I would like to think that she is!😍
I quickly snapped a few photos, and these two babies became tiny coiled up springs, and bounced their way out of sight and into the forest!😊
They will be back……………….
After all, this is the “Nursery”!😇
Enjoy the weekend my friends, till tomorrow this is Silvertop Mike 😊
