Double-takes: Fawn Siblings

 Fawns are frequently left alone by their mothers during the rut.  The bond between the siblings is strong and becomes more obvious with mother temporarily out of the picture.  This pair of fawns was browsing along a brushy stream bank when they caught sight of me.  Their pose was more than I could have hoped for
.

This pair of fawns had just finished a short nursing session.  A moment after the doe walked away both began grooming in nearly identical poses.  Grooming, a common everyday occurrence, but to have a pair of button bucks lined up like this; Priceless!

Siblings standing together along the edge of a frosty meadow.  I couldn't have posed them any better for a mirror-image shot if I had been able to position them myself.

All bucks are interesting and big bucks are thrilling, but it is the fawns that have the ability to really tug at your heartstrings.
