White-tailed deer are extremely common where I live in central Connecticut, and in fact, throughout much of the country. That said, it’s still a treat to spot one from the hammock in the backyard. Especially a fawn. This little guy appeared lost and hardly moved for about an hour. But eventually Mom came back and the two disappeared into the forest. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/125th of a second.
Awwwww! So sweet, those big eyes, the alert ears,, the delightful spots on his back. So glad for you finding a friend in the backyard. It does look like he had a bit of a gash once on his forehead. Hope he stops by again.

So happy to hear you got to spend an hour in a hammock observing wildlife. Beautiful fawn. Will he grow into those ears?
Those ears will continue to be disproportionately large. Better for hearing intruders like me sneaking up for a photo.
Woah, a deer. A female deer?
Perhaps. Perhaps a deer a male deer.
I love how photogenic he is. Smiling at camera and everything. Takes better pics than me.
Of course, I’m not showing you the bad ones.
That is a beautiful photo, Sean! Lucky you!
