We have had this happen a few times in our yard.
We were told that the mother needed to forage further away. So she will find a spot to hide her fawn. Then when she comes back they go back to eating all your plants and bushes together...
We were also told that fawns have almost no scent so they cant be found so easy preditors

Forgot about this pic, we took the M-60 off “ Tops” jeep and put a M-2 on it as a joke. He was partially amused after a few unprintable words, Lol. Long time ago.....
Blue Finch?
Indigo bunting. Looks like a immature male that has not finished his changeover to full breeding colors.

Back in early '67 I was stationed at Iwakuni in southern Japan. On weekends some of us had to stand the duty watch. Instead of sitting around all weekend some of us volunteered to help an orphanage. The orphanage was about 25-30 miles away and the trip was made really fun since we were traveling in a 6X and the local roads were quite narrow.
The orphanage was run by the Lutheran church. We were given box lunches to take with us. Each box contained a sandwich and an orange. We always gave the oranges to the kids. All of the orphans were mixed race, usually Indian and Japanese. They were cut loose at 18 and left to fend for themselves. Tough world back then.
The first picture is a group of boys running across rice fields. They saw the truck coming and wanted to get back. The second picture is a batter up. We cleared a small area for them to play baseball. When we included the girls all the boys had a fit. Eventually they came around.

Kudos to you for bringing some fun and joy into those kids' lives. That batter and catcher are grinning from ear to ear.
Bless you,

One of the kittens went medieval on Ruthie's neck heat pillow and ripped a hole in it. I sprung into action.
Think she'll notice?

When I got to Japan I was initially stationed in a Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron (H&MS-15). It supported fighter squadrons of which I eventually was transferred to. My short time in H&MS-15 was spent working on the weather radar in the DC7 that the squadron flew. We had one of the last enlisted pilots in the Marine Corps. On a flight to Atsugi Naval Air Station the pilot gave us an extra treat. He flew around Mt.Fuji and gave us pictures of the front and back side. One of the perks flying in an almost empty plane.
