Clay Yale sent in the first photo of the spring showing a newborn fawn.

One of the first Fawns and two Quail by Clay Yale

The spotted fawn is seeing the resident Quail, perhaps for the first time.

So now is the time to drive slower. If a Doe crosses the road in front of you, pause for a moment or two to see if a fawn...or two...or even three... might be following close behind.

Thanks to Clay for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

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.
