  • One of the fawns hangs out with a friendly doe before it's mother arrives with breakfast. In the meantime, Goldie tries to keep the Snack Stump to herself.

    What a pistol that little fawn is ! Totally full of personality and loving its' beautiful deer life. Oh, to be so carefree without a worry in the world ! This video Derek really is an amazing study of deer behavior. How each of the does react to the frisky antics of this new member of the family. I am in amazement as well as gleefully happy watching. A fantastic, fun, feel-good video Derek !!! ❤🦌🦌🦌

      @@myfloridaourplanet.444 If the doe are who I think they are, the first one the fawn was with is Tricky with no fawn of her own. Goldie was the one chasing the little guy, probably because she has her own fawn to care for. And.then the doe who was the last to arrive had to be its mother. It's fascinating to see them interact like that, but what was really a wonderful surprise was finding the little fawn resting alone behind the greenhouse! The mother was nearby, but far enough away that they couldn't see each other. While I was chatting with the little one, I took a step too close and it stood up so I squatted down and kept chatting. After a moment, the fawn lay back down and has been there most of the day. I even rode our mower around knocking the tops of the dandelions down and went in and out of the greenhouse. The last I saw was both the fawn and mother back behind the greenhouse in the tall grass and shade. It still amazes me that I've managed to earn their trust to such a point that they hang around even when I'm not constantly putting something out for them to eat. Like your gator friend, which I imagine would be a very cool story to hear about how that came to be. I'd love to hear the story, maybe on Instagram if you wish to share it.

      I truly enjoyed your account about the fawn behind the greenhouse ! What a memorable encounter. Derek, I'm not at all surprised about the trust the Deer have placed in you. You are part of their herd. You are their family. Everything about you gives them the sense of trust around you. I've always believed animals are good judges of human character. The actions of the Does and the Fawns herald their belief in this particular human. They reward you greatly by all the moments like the one by the greenhouse. I don't just watch your videos, I analyze them. And my heart leaps with joy seeing the peace & serenity between "man & beast". Yes, I have several alligators that have given me their trust. The big female shares her brood with me every year. I call them and they come or if they see me first, here they come like a submarine, stopping just short of where I'm standing, intently and quietly looking at me with nothing but curiosity & do I dare say friendship ? Yes...reptilian friendship. Hence, because of experiencing firsthand the bond a human can have with a wild animal, your videos, your encounters, really strike home. Pretty darn deep. Am looking forward to watching your journey for a long, long time.....

      @@myfloridaourplanet.444 I think what touches me the most is that these animals have never been habituated by other humans. It was like a journey, one I will tell you about on Instagram as it is mostly stills with the story of Nicky. It will be a little while as I'm digging through years of photos. It will also give me a chance to learn how to use Instagram.
      Completely off topic, but you may find this amusing. One of the first trips to the Zoo we have in Portland when I was around 10 years old left me with what is still one of my fondest, yet shortest, experiences. I remember walking next to mom and dad as we went by the giraffe enclosure, one of them decided to say hello by bumping my head with one of its ossicones. It was a light tap, but very surprising as I didn't see it coming. I felt as though the animal was expressing some type of friendship even then, and now I know how hard they can hit if they want through the many documentaries I have watched. Or maybe I just have a hard head.😁

      @@critterallywithjohnernest. That's how I feel looking through my photos and videos, knowing how many deer I've seen through the years grow up and move on. One really cool thing that I saw today after this video was the little fawn laying by itself behind the greenhouse. It stood up when I went one step too close, then laid back down while I talked to it. The last I saw after riding the mower and going in and out of the greenhouse was both the fawn and mother resting back behind the greenhouse. It's always great when I realize the little fawns are no longer staying under the trees.
