NEWS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF LAKELINE RANCH

Volume 4, Issue 4

April showers bring May flowers Hello Lakeline Ranch, Here is hoping the old adage is true. We did get some rain in March and temperatures warmed in spring like fashion.

Soon the lawnmowers will be heard on weekend mornings and the yards will start showing colors. I love this time of the year.

This is the time of year when a lot of neighbors will want to start on home and yard improvement projects. Please be sure to submit a request to the architectural control committee for approval before making physical changes to the appearance of your yards. This is an easy process and the forms can be obtained from Goodwin Management.

Carl Gamble of Goodwin Management can be reached with questions at 512-431-2400. Thank you and have a great Spring!

It’s Bambi!

He’s tiny, he’s cuddly, he’s cute, and he seems so alone.

He’s probably an orphan, like Bambi! You just have to pick him up and take care of him – or at least get a closer look.

But he’s not alone. Bambi’s mother is not far away, and a deer that would otherwise run from a human or a dog will defend her baby if she senses danger. Now is the time to remind your children and neighbors to be deer-smart for the deer’s safety and your own.

IF YOU FIND A FAWN, LEAVE IT ALONE. Most white-tail deer fawns are born in May and June in central Texas, but they start to appear as soon as late April. For the first three to four weeks of their lives, the fawns are too small to follow their mothers, and it is normal for a doe to leave a fawn alone for several hours at a time. If you find a fawn, do move it or try to rescue it. Most fawns are not orphaned or abandoned. Unless the fawn is obviously cold, sick or in an unsafe area, it should be left alone.

If you think the fawn is in danger, call Austin Wildlife Rescue at 472-9453 (472-WILD).

REMIND CHILDREN TO STAY AWAY FROM THE DEER.

Baby animals naturally draw the attention of curious children. Fawning season in central Texas provides a unique opportunity to teach your children about cycles of life and kindness to animals. Educate your children about the fawning season. Explain to them that the fawns are not abandoned.

Teach them that they should stay away from the fawns because the mother is nearby, she will take care of the baby, and the fawn’s best chance of survival depends on its being left alone.

RESTRAIN YOUR DOGS. Fawns also draw the attention of curious dogs. Walk your dogs on leash. Standard leashes are better than retractable leashes at this time of year in deer country. Off-leash and unrestrained dogs are a primary cause of conflicts with deer.

USE YOUR DEER DETERRENTS. If you do not want fawns around your property, now is the time to refresh or activate your deer repellents. Does will not leave fawns in an obviously hostile environment. Mend your fences if you do not like deer.

The fawning season provides an opportunity to experience first-hand the miracle of the cycles of wildlife and appreciate the wildlife we have living among us. DeerAustin is a group of Austin neighbors and animal lovers who are committed to living compatibly with urban wildlife and especially to protecting and preserving Austin’s urban deer herds. Visit us at www.deeraustin.org.

Austin is a city that values its urban wildlife. The opportunity to interact with deer is a part of what makes Austin a special place to live. Please be deer-smart this spring, enjoy the wildlife, and Keep Austin Deered!

Austin Wildlife Rescue, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization that rehabilitates and releases orphaned, sick or injured animals and educates the public how to co-exist with wildlife. Learn more or volunteer at www.austinwildliferescue.org.
