Solid white animals

Leave a comment for this entry at The Memphis Edge

You’ll notice in Sunday’s paper that I’ve written a feature on albino whitetail deer.

I did the story because I find the animals truly fascinating - and I know a lot of other people do, too.

I’ve never actually seen an albino whitetail. But I did see a piebald (half white) deer from a tree stand in Alabama once, and it was striking.

Through the years, I’ve done stories on albino blue birds and albino hummingbirds. I actually held an albino hummingbird in my hand once while wildlife officials fitted it with a leg band.

It really doesn’t make much difference what kind of creature it is. If it’s solid white with pink eyes, it’s an amazing sight.

If you’ve seen a solid white critter, I’d love to hear abou it.
