A fawn at Audubon Woods

Can you spot the fawn hidden in this picture?



I spent the past two days working with students from Winn Elementary as they completed forest ecology studies at the Chippewa Watershed Conservancy's Audubon Woods Preserve.

When the students went back to school for lunch I was able to get close and take a few photographs.  Here are a few of the best...
