SACRAMENTO, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Sacramento residents have reported sightings of a rare snow white deer near a local water treatment plant.

Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District has tracked the albino deer among a pack of 12-15 black-tailed mule deer on its trail camera since September.

Flood waters in the Bufferlands surrounding the sanitation plant have forced the rare deer back into the open, according to KXTV.

"We first saw the deer in September, so we think it was born in the spring or fall," natural resource supervisor for Regional Sanitation Brian Young said.
