LAKE WINNECONNE (NBC 26) — Andy Swinford of Winneconne saw what he thought to be a deadhead out on Lake Winneconne at about 5:30 Friday morning.

He wanted to investigate the situation and discovered it was actually two young deer swimming across the lake, and one of them was an albino deer.

It's unusual enough to see deer swimming across a lake, they're good swimmers by the way, but to see an albino deer like this is very rare.

Andy says both deer made it to shore.

Good eye, Andy.
