What a lovely thing to happen ! I hope the deer mother wasn't worried about them.
They look so relaxed in there and out of the storm !
Actually baby deer are not so afraid of people. They haven't yet learned from their mothers. There were two baby deer in the orchard this past Spring, and they were interested in me, and not scared. I could even walk quietly past them by only about 3 feet, and they didn't even get up from where they were resting.
But when their mother barked a warning, they were off very quickly!
Those same babies stopped to stare at me a few times. I think the mother realised I was no danger, as she didn't look frightened of me herself (used to seeing me) but still she would bark to call them away.
