IF YOU CARE. LEAVE IT THERE:
From NYS DEC
Have you ever come upon a fawn, or pair of fawns, curled up and motionless without any sign of an adult doe around?
Before assuming fawns are orphaned, consider the following:
White-tailed deer typically give birth to fawns in mid -late May to early June. Newborn fawns will be hidden away while the doe is out
feeding. Fawns will lie quietly, often not moving to avoid attracting predators. A doe will only return to feed her fawns every 4-5
hours. Sometimes, the doe will move them to a new location during the cover of twilight. After a few weeks, the fawns will be strong
enough to accompany the mother, and agile enough, to outrun most predators.
If you find a fawn alone and quiet but alert, it's likely healthy and being cared for. If you're concerned about the fawn's wellbeing,
observe from a distance over a period of hours, keeping children and pets away. Avoid repeated visitation, adult does may not
approach if people are close by. If someone has unfortunately already handled a fawn, quickly return the fawn to the exact spot
where it was found and leave the area; the adult doe will return in search of her fawn once the area is safe.
If you do encounter a fawn that is obviously injured or orphaned, call a Wildlife Rehabilitator for advice and help. They are the only
people legally allowed to receive and treat distressed wildlife. They have the experience, expertise, and facilities to successfully treat
and release wild animals back into the wild, where they belong.
LIFEGUARD NEEDED FOR SUMMER CAMP:

hours per week, from 11:30-3:30 pm at a rate of $20-25/hour (depending upon experience). Apply through Tompkins Couty at:
