During the annual highway cleanup for Lower Queensbury, I spotted what might have been another dead animal in the ditch. On closer inspection, it was a living fawn. This was likely from the doe/fawn pair I’d seen in the area. Not knowing if it might be injured, we contacted DNR. A short time later a ranger came by, determined it was unharmed and said that this was relatively common and ‘mom’ would likely be back later.
Checked back in the evening and it was gone. I’m keeping an eye out for them.
