Newborn Fawn, as photographed by Robert Scarola

Just in time for Mother's Day, the first Fawns have appeared on the Mendonoma Coast. Robert and Nancy Scarola had a Doe give birth in a wooded area near their home last year. So this year they were watching and waiting.  Robert estimates this fawn is two days old and he or she has a twin brother or sister. What fun the Scarolas will have watching this little family.

This precious Fawn is a reason to drive slowly on the Coast. If you see a Doe cross the highway, wait a moment to see if a fawn or two - or even three - might be following behind.
