Here’s our old doe coming out of the woods.

She’s slow, but still gets around.

And right behind her?

Blue eyed Bambi.

Fatten up little guy/girl.

Parts of Maine are getting snow today. Winter is coming.

Still spotted.

Still a little eerie.

But definitely different.

Odd eyes…..

Odd eyes but there’s something wonderful about them. I didn’t think of deer as particularly family-minded but now you’ve got me seeing them in a very different way. Now when I see a group, especially a family–I sometimes see a doe with two younger ones–I think how they’re looking out for each other.

The young stick close to their mother fur almost 2 years. When the males reach sexual maturity they’re pushed out of the herd. Our big buck will only tolerate them for so long.

That’s THE only reason I can see living in the middle of nowhere between a big and a baby barn!!!

I respectfully disagree. If I’m here… it’s not nowhere.

Did a quick bit a research and blue eyes in deer is the result of a recessive gene and pretty rare. Most fawns born with blue eyes eventually end up with brown eyes as they age, but in rare cases their eyes remain blue throughout their life.
Consider your blue-eyed fawn a rare treat and – let’s hope – a sign of good fortune to come!
