Piebald doe

[Johnsfolly]

Since we have been in MD, I have seen two piebald deer. One was a fawn that was probably 90% white that was about 2 miles from our house. Then two weeks ago I saw this doe about four miles from the house. Sorry about the poor photo.

We also have been seeing black squirrels and a bearded hen close to these same spots.

I was on a business trip to Syracuse NY several years ago and stayed in a hotel that was next to a park like area.  Lots of squirrels and I think just about every one of them was black.  I'm pretty sure it's a color variation of a gray squirrel, but even though there are tons of grays here in this part of Arkansas, I have never seen a black squirrel here.

Jeff they are a melanic form of gray squirrel. My dad's neighborhood in White Plains NY had quite a few black ones. Went he moved to Georgia, there might have been a 50:50 ratio of the black form versus the normal gray forms. I always wanted to have on mounted.

My wife is from Olney IL home of the white squirrel.  I think they are true albino.  What's weird is they are all over inside the city limits but if you get out of the city it's all greys and reds.

I could imagine a Ying/Yang but with a white and black squirrel mount. I know I'm a sick guy .

Saw this one near a jobsite the other day.  There has been an albino gene going around that town for many years.

My lake cabin in Northern Michigan has mostly black squirrels around. A few grays, very few reds.   We do have some piebald deer around, most people leave them alone.  

I'm leaving this week for the summer/fall if I can avoid the riots and the roid.  HA.
