The Michigan DNR has received quite a few calls recently about fawns. We would like to remind folks that most fawns are not abandoned and the mother will come back when she feels it’s safe to do so. Please keep this in mind. It’s okay to enjoy the sight of a fawn, just be sure to give them some space so they can reunite with mom. Learn more about what to do if you find baby animal at mi.gov/wildlife. #KeepMiWild
