White Tailed Deer
Deer are found all throughout Pennsylvania. Mostly in wooded areas white tailed deer eat a variety of vegetation. Leaves, twigs, grass, corn, apple, and fruit make up a large portion of their diet.
Does can have up to three fawns in the spring in usually May or June. A fawn’s coat has white spots which will help it blend with its surroundings during the day. They will lie statue still in flower beds, woods, or tall grass to keep itself hidden from predators during the day. |

What to do:
Be sure that a fawn does need help. Just because a fawn is alone does not mean it has been abandoned. If you see a dead mother or the fawn is left in the same place more than one morning in a row, then call a rehabber immediately for help and advice.
