2022 Cumberland Island - Wildlife Sightings

Piebald Fawn Bedded Down
To say that we experienced a diversity of flora and fauna at Cumberland Island would be an understatement, as each trail leads one past intact ecosystems full of wonder. A strain of piebald deer is found on Cumberland Island and we were fortunate to find a piebald fawn, bedded down where Mama left it, but hiding in plain sight due to its white coloration. It is natural for does to leaves fawns bedded while they move around to graze, and the fawn was not in distress and never made any movement. Such a rare treat to see, and this encounter speaks to the Wow-factor awaiting you once you set foot on Cumberland Island National Seashore.
