Rare deer in my back yard today.
Though I live in the business area of a small town, I have a creek that runs behind my house, so it's not unusual to see deer grazing in the back yard.
Today I saw one and began scouring the tree line for what I expected to be more. I saw some rustling, and got my binoculars for a better view. When I realized what I was looking at, I ran to get my camera.
By the time I got ready and sneaked out the side door what I think are mother and doe emerged into the yard. The little one is a relatively rare piebald deer, one with a recessive gene that causes partial albino-ism:
The larger one that I believe to be the mother, heard me and kept a weary eye my way, even though I only had my upper body out the door and zoomed in 20X. Here she decided I wasn't going away and took the initiative herself:
The piebald fawn seemed more aloof and stuck around a bit as if to see what all the fuss was about:
Then it finally went off to be with mom:
Surprisingly, the first deer that I saw came back out to take one more pass through the yard. I don't know for sure, but I think this is an older sibling to the piebald:

such cuties....I'd love to boop those noses 
In this case I think it made the deer harder to see. When I first spotted the other one, this piebald was still behind the tree line. I saw some branches moving and had to get the binoculars to see what it was. The difference in colors broke up the lines of the animal and it blended in very well.
