Not sure who needs to hear this, but a reminder to leave wildlife in the wild. In many situations, the mother will leave her young unattended to keep them safe. Simply enjoy the view, maybe snap a photo, but give them distance and keep pets away.

What young animals have you been seeing this spring?

As a reminder, if you know the mother is dead or you see injured animals, you can reach out to licensed wildlife rehabilitators. A list can be found at https://www2.dnr.state.mi.us/dlr/
