Young Whitetail Fawn drinks from creek alone during daylight in summer

This young fawn was seen alone knee deep in the creek drinking water. It was under observation for 20 minutes and did not stop drinking. It looks emancipated and has a mass of flies on it's rump. This time of year in central New York State, perhaps the mother was recently killed by a vehicle and the fawn has been raising itself.
