We’d like to add a note here: please, if you see a fawn in this situation, do not approach it. The mothers hide the fawns while foraging, and will be returning. The ONLY time these fawns should be approached is if they are in immediate danger or are injured, okay? Otherwise, they are just fine, and Mom is somewhere nearby, even if we cannot see her.

The following two photos had an odd coincidence surrounding them: Both Victor Ellison and Mark Vandyke braved the bone-chilling temperatures last week, on the same day, at the same place, by pure luck. So we wanted to share these again, together..two incredible photographers, both with a similar goal, and some amazing results!

We have included a link for the Roan Highlands for people who would like to know more about this scenic area.
