white and brown deer walking near body of water beside forest trees

My first time ever seeing these rare nearly all white deer in the wild. I spotted this one just before sunrise in the Pine Barrens in the middle of southern New Jersey. When I first caught a glimpse of it I thought it was trash on the far side of a lake. When I pointed the lens at it I quickly realized it was a piebald whitetail deer and a great looking one at that. The calm morning gave a nice reflection on the water. I watched this deer for maybe 2 minutes before it disappeared into the forest.
