Article: Contra Costa Times, Walnut Creek, Calif., Gary Bogue column: Dear little fawns seem odd this time of year.

Byline: Gary Bogue

Sep. 14--It's hard for the modern generation to understand Thoreau, who lived beside a pond but didn't own water skis or a snorkel.

-- Bill Vaughan

Dear Gary:

We have seen several very young fawns recently around our house. We do not remember seeing such young deer at this time of year before.

Are the deer changing their mating habits, or has this always happened and we just didn't notice it before? I would think that these tiny ones will have a tougher time making it through the winter.
