A hailstorm is about to hit and there’s a fawn in my yard. Anything I can do?
She’s been here at least 8 hours. I know mom is supposed to come back for her, but this storm is hitting very imminently. If mom doesn’t come back and the hail starts coming down, can I like…put some tree branches over her or something?
If this post is older than 30 minutes or so, it’s probably a moot point. Thanks for any help!

Edit: the hail is forecast to be “up to quarter size.” The rain has now started, but for anybody curious I did hastily construct a crude lean-to out of spare lumber and a tarp. I’ll take it down once the storm has passed.
Edit 2: At the suggestion of somebody in a cross post, the lean-to has been removed. The hail is beginning to start, no sign of mom, fawn is still here.
