I was hiding out in the spruce row watching our for our nesting kestrel pair when I heard a commotion from the field behind me. It was red winged black birds. I thought perhaps they were upset with me for potentially being too near their nest. Instead, it seemed this new Momma deer was standing in the tall grass nursing her new fawn. She was too near the nest. The pair of red winged blackbirds were relentless but she stood still only occasionally moving her head while they loudly called and pecked at her. I think perhaps they took advantage of the flies and ticks that were on her for a quick meal.
