White deer

There are some white deer that live around our area. We have a friend that has posted pictures of a doe in his backyard on the northwest side of Durham.

One day, driving to work, I saw 2 white does in a yard that is heavily wooded. Another day, I saw a white buck and 2 white does in the same yard.

Tonight at was nearly 3 in the morning I saw a white doe and 2 dun colored fawns grazing in a front yard 3 or 4 miles from the other place.

I wasn’t able to get a picture. The doe was leery of me stopping my car and I couldn’t get my headlights to a useful angle.

It was very cool and I wish I could show them to you. I don’t know if they are leucistic or albino. I’ve never been or seen a picture that was close enough to tell the color of their eyes.

    A friend saw one of these white deer in Hillsborough recently. How marvelous!
