Residents Urged to Leave Deer Fawns Alone 🦌
from Fairfax County Government
Animal Protection Police and wildlife management specialists receive many calls this time of year about found white-tailed deer fawns. In most cases, fawns are healthy and need no human intervention.
Most white-tailed deer fawns are born in May and June. Newborn fawns are often found on lawns, in flower beds, gardens, bushes or areas of tall grass near homes. It is common for people to encounter white-tailed deer fawns motionless and without their mother, then mistakenly assume it is orphaned or abandoned. In almost all cases, fawns are only temporarily left by their mothers for protection and just need to be left alone.
You should only seek help for a fawn if it is showing obvious signs of injury or distress.
