Police: Hands off fawns

With spring in the air, the time has come for white-tailed deer to begin giving birth, and police in the D.C. metro area are issuing warning to residents to stay away from the fawns.

White-tailed deer deliver their fawns from April to July, with most births in June. Though dependent on their mothers’ milk for the first two to four weeks of their lives, fawns are routinely left by themselves while their mothers leave to find food.
