This is not an albino deer, but is still a pretty rare sight. (Double click on the picture to get a better look.) The little guy frequented our yard daily for a season, but has now moved a couple of streets over. Although he is now two, he still stays with his mom. She has always somehow known that he is 'different' and has always been very protective of him. I love her tenderness and affection towards him. Here is a little video and picture of the beauty of our neighborhood.

I think the spotted deer are called piebald deer. The coloring is due to the expression of a recessive gene. I've never seen deer lay down in someone's yard. They must feel safe there. Very cool.
I love your neighborhood! :) :)
Wow, I've never seen a deer like that before. Nice
Hey Elaine,
What's funny is that when I was writing this blog, I wrote that the deer was called a piebald deer, but erased it. I erased that thinking, 'if Elaine reads this and that isn't the real name, she will know and I'll feel stupid!'
And so now it totally seems like I'm saying, 'oh, I knew that', but really, I so DID know that but was too unsure to actually post it!!!!
Oh please! Don't ever censor yourself because of me. Chances are I will not know what you are talking about! I just got lucky this time.
