This beautiful white-tailed doe was spotted in a clear cut in Greenville, Maine when a friend and I were taking a moose tour in early June. She definitely was protecting a fawn left in the clear cut as she ran towards our van and tried to get us to follow her. We respectfully took a few photos and went on along our way.

The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), also known as the whitetail, is a medium-sized deer native to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America. The deer's coat is a reddish-brown in the spring and summer and turns to a grey-brown throughout the fall and winter. White-tailed deer typically respond to the presence of potential predators by breathing very heavily (also called blowing) and fleeing. When they blow, the sound alerts other deer in the area. As they run, the flash of their white tails warns other deer. This especially serves to warn fawns when their mother is alarmed. Females give birth to one to three spotted young, known as fawns, in mid- to late spring, generally in May or June.
