New Pictures - Partial Piebald Fawn in the Backyard
This partially piebald fawn showed up in the backyard this morning with its sibling and Mom.
Seen it last week but didn't think about taking its picture. Will hopefully see it grow up. Bill https://i.imgur.com/bK5KfPZ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/K2HWRhQ.jpg |

This one showed up at the farm some years ago as a fawn and was seen regularly. I saw him in Turkey season the year after these trail cam pictures were taken and that was the last time he was seen. Always wondered what happened to him. As we seem to have a fair amount of year round hunters in our area I always suspected foul play but who knows. They are pretty.

I’ve seen piebalds in the past. They don’t seem to be around long. I keep hoping to see a true albino.

I saw my first albino deer yesterday morning on the way home from work. A beautiful rather large antlered buck about a mile from my home. Deer in the back yard all the time but never of any of their caliber. He was with two of his Batchelor buddies who all sported quality headgear. Quite a moment.

10 days later, it showed up again with its Mom and brother or sister.

If the deer is a buck, it will be forced to move to a different area to find a territory of its own after it matures. This avoids inbreeding. So a white or piebald deer has a 50/50 chance of being forced from the area where it is first seen and for the first year or a little more.

As in yesterday – they showed up twice so I got some more pictures as seen below. It looks like the piebald is beginning to show buttons on its head so it may be a buck. And its sibling looks like it might be a buck also. Will keep watching to confirm. What do you guys and gals think? And notice the close ups of that regular fawn and the ugly markings on its head and face I suspect from ticks and deer flies or ?? The piebald on the other hand looks pretty clean. Will keep an eye open and hope to get some more pictures as they grow up. But as Jerry predicts, if it is a buck, it may get booted to a different area. Be nice to see it once in a while tho. Of course, that assumes it gets through the deer season. And hopefully the other one will do OK despite the parasites on its face. https://i.imgur.com/fLPx8Sl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hzUPJtJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qmQbhbx.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aHQpRt8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LnIkpcI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N5g7px3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LdsNJtj.jpg |

New Pictures - September 2nd
Got a couple new pictures today, September 2nd, showing the spots are going away on the fawn and the doe is starting to get her fall colors. I couldn't get a good picture of the other fawn.
I'm planning on getting some more pictures in the coming days if the deer cooperate. https://i.imgur.com/W9YQVRS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tp14dYk.jpg |
Bill, thanks for the story and great photos!
