We have been on vacation locally this week, staying in our pop-up on the property and going canoeing. This morning we went to the Millpond Conservation area near the Rideau and saw this - very exciting, never seen it before.
First we noticed a doe swimming across and getting out. Then she turned and looked back and started to call Then these 2 little fawns swam across to her!

Wow, that's a rare and wonderful thing to have experienced. Great that you got some beautiful photos of it!

Wow! What a treat!

Beautiful!!!
I have never seen them swimming, great pictures.

Nice KB nature is so beautiful & amazing to watch . Yu just have to be there to see it . Luck was on your side .

That is something special to see, lucky you!

Thing is this is all very local and accessible. We've seen some neat stuff this week, perhaps more even than when we go North and remote. The critters are more used to people. We also practice quiet paddling which helps. SHe was very aware of us the whole time.

Wow great thing to see, right place, right time and twins to boot!!

Surprisingly good swimmers. Great pics!!

we see the does swimming the river here like it doesn't even exist during the rut-they'll dive in to try to get away from the boys. of course, our river isn't THAT big a river!!!!! good looking animals! glad you got to see it and share it with us!
