Catch all - His athleticism put aspiring forester John G.
Richey of Marion on equal footing with four-footed newborn fawns

on to help Southern Illinois University Carbondale researchers find
fawns hiding in grasses and woods within weeks of their birth. Wildlife
ecologists with the SIUC Cooperative Wildlife Research Laboratory are
studying the survival rate of fawns during their vulnerable first year
of life
