Thanks for posting that, Dan. Like Ann, I wanted to shift my position
for a better view. It's a real feel-good story.

I got this from a friend (no idea how many times it had been re-sent by others):
"On the Morning of May 18th, 2011, my wife noticed a deer in our yard
that appeared to be frantically looking for something in the rocks
that form a wall on our property line in... Brush Prairie WA. When we
first went out with our neighbors, we didn't see anything, but the
deer wouldn't leave our yard. We went back to our house and watched,
after a few minutes the deer came back.
We went out to the area the deer was concentrating on and could hear a
baby fawn crying in the rocks. We moved some of the rocks and smaller
boulders and saw a baby fawn's face among the rocks. He had apparently
fallen into a crawl through in one of the gaps and was now trapped.
The larger boulders were too heavy to move and we didn't want to have
the rocks cave in on the baby deer.
We finally called our Clark County Fire District 3. The B Shift team
came out and they were able to move the larger rocks out of the way
with the Jaws of Life; enough to be able to reach in and pull the baby
fawn out and reunited it with its momma. The fawn was probably stuck
in there most of the night and quickly went to nurse off its momma.
One of our neighbors took some video clips of the fire department's
rescue. I edited the clips into this short clip. After sharing it with
some friends they thought that it was just too cute not to share with
more people so my neighbors agreed to let me upload the final clip.?
