Opposites

This is the second fawn in a week with ticks covering the eyes

I was off work today, but dropped in because my boss and I were supposed to do a kayak release of some opossums tonight. However, when I got there, they were pulling ticks off of this little guy's eyes.

So, I didn't get to kayak today. This is the second deer in a week with this problem. Luckily, their eyes should retain sight, once the vet sees them. The problem is, fawns just sit in grass, and they don't have any way to keep ticks off of themselves.

This, or other injuries, are the only reasons to move a fawn! Otherwise it is likely kidnapping and you just don't see mom.

So that is one of the sad sides to work. For some brain-bleach, here's a little duckling I had to hold while its cage was cleaned out.
