Wildlife is very active during the late spring and summer, and it’s common to come across baby fawns, moose calves, fox, raccoons and other young wildlife in fields, woodland areas and even back yards, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife points out. The department is urging those who encounter wildlife anywhere in the Maine outdoors, to remember the motto: “If you care, leave them there.” Wild animals and birds do not make good pets, and it’s against the law to possess them without the proper state and federal permits
