Piebald plus

Just got an e-mail from a reader in Mahwah, who writes:

When I opened the local section of today’s Record and saw the picture of the deer, I said to my family, "Look, it’s the deer!" Then I went on to read that this deer is in the McFaul Center, not the one that roams our neighborhood!

We first spotted the deer maybe a year or so ago, and our neighbors, too, have all seen it. Every time I see it, I am so relieved to see that it is still alive! Our most recent spotting was this week, with about 5-6 other deer, on a neighbor’s lawn.

If you have seen a piebald deer in the wild in North Jersey recently, let me know — and send me a photo!

Thanks.
