Deer sighting

White-tailed doe with fawn

I recently saw this doe and fawn in the desert.  The little one looked playful, running around in circles with its fluffy white tail up in the air.  Every so often it would stop and rest by its mom's side.   The mom was eating green leaves from shrubs growing among the cactus. 

I tried to take a short video of the scampering fawn, but the vegetation was so thick and tall, the little one could barely be seen.  Luckily, it stood still long enough to pose for this photo.  Although not pictured, there were three other adult deer with them browsing leaves.
