We live on an island, and it is very rare for new creatures to crawl across the bridge or swim the 5 miles from the mainland, so we have a population of deer that eventually interbreed. THey are small, but they breed like crazy. The only natural predators are the coyotes that were brought over to control the rabbit population, and of course the proverbial teenager with a 22 rifle or a shotgun. Needless to say, when theses deer are corraled by houses and fences and highways, they will interbreed, and we end up with some very strange looking holstein like deer. Very rare on THIS Island, but in the SAN JUANS (2 islands over) they are very prevalent.
CatMomaJ took these yesterday out her bedroom window. This one is not an albino deer, but a very pale color nonetheless. Judy has been watching her for about a year now and she is quite shy. I would expect her to breed this year and possibly have some little baby white deer!

I've never seen a white deer! How different they look. Great pictures.
I hope you get some resolution to all the pain you have, Mary Lou. I also think that a chiropractor might be able to help you. Or possibly cortisone injections.
Take care!
Interesting! I've never seen a white deer either.
Also: I wish Catmoma J. would start blogging again.
SEE JUDY!!! YOU ARE MISSED!!

I am always fascinated by deer. I never see too many of them. Nice pictures.

ML, I've been really absent, and SO MUCH has changed! I knew that you lost Michael, but the rest is new to me today. Is Bob healed? Are you you as depressed and angry as you SOUND? I wish I could be an angel for you -- you sure deserve a break! I wish there was a way to get you hooked up with The Hospital for Special Surgeries in NYC. Darn, I'm not helping one bit here. More later.
