Lama Yeshe went for a walk in the woods by the Hay River KTC Center this afternoon with 3 students and we found a fawn. It did not try to run away even when we were close enough to get this picture. The Mass. Division of Fisheries and Wildlife says that fawns will run away starting at 9 days old. It must have been very young. We quickly kept walking after taking the picture. The mother will return.
