Gary Egger, master stalker of all things wild, sent this shot of two White-tailed Deer fawns, a good illustration of how their beautiful spotted coats provide camouflage in the dappled light of the forest undergrowth. Many of the fawns' predators see in black-and-white, and may not be able to see a fawn crouching in the undergrowth. Fawns will keep their spots for about 3 months.
