I found...
... a Baby Bird
If the baby is feathered and can hop, put it in a nearby bush or other safe place so the parents can feed it. Keep your pets away.
If the baby is naked and helpless, put it in a covered cardboard box or paper bag lined with cloth and keep it very warm. Call the Umpqua Wildlife Rescue hotline or your local rehab facility right away.

Fawns are best left where they are found. It is normal for their mothers to leave them for long periods of time. If you are concerned call the hotline.
