Not good photos but this doe and her 2 fawns have been hanging around for a couple of months now. Fawns seem very young for the time of year. A late season birth?

This poor guy didn't seem to be doing well. The warmer weather must have woke him up and got him looking for a meal, bringing him to our door step.

I'm having trouble finding resources to identify mammal jaw bones. Lots for skulls but not jaws. What resources I could find suggested "Meadow Vole" but this was way to big. The size suggested Gray Squirrel but not the form. Thankful for any help.
