My backyard bambi last week prompted one AgWired reader to send in her own. This is a picture from Columbia, MO of what’s probably an albino deer. This one’s living behind Marylin Cummins house.

Here’s the special doe I watch for each day out my office window and off the deck — she likes to bed down on the wooded hillside that is our backyard (in the middle of suburban Columbia, Mo.) We think she’s an albino — she’s definitely different. Always travels alone and is quite tame — going right up to people’s backyards, where she ate the leaves off the top of my baby redbud trees this fall. She doesn’t spook when I call to her, either — I’ve nicknamed her “Crystal.”
