White deer attracts watchers in Mill Creek Park
A white deer is attracting people to Mill Creek MetroParks to catch a glimpse of the young deer.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A white deer is attracting people to Mill Creek MetroParks to catch a glimpse of the young deer.
A retired railroad worker from Youngstown has formed a close friendship with the animal and its parents.
Mickey Drabison begins most days spending time watching deer in the park.
"I'm down in the park at 7 o'clock in the morning, and I'm with them for an hour and a half, maybe two hours."
He was there when the white deer was born. He named her Queenie and is also close to the parents, Minnie and King. He says Queenie is not considered an Albino but is still pretty rare.
"It is rare. It's maybe one out of ten or 20,000, but she's really not a pure albino," Drabison said.
He says watching deer in the park can be a pleasurable thing, but one thing you should never do is feed the deer.
"No, don't feed them. People drop loaves of bread out there, and that's not good for them. Corn isn't good; whole corn isn't good because they can't digest it, and it actually rots in them, and it can kill them," he said.
Deer are wild animals, and Drabison says it's best to observe them at a distance. "You'll know if they don't want you. They'll pound their hoofs; they'll snort at you, just turn around and get away."
Drobison says he loves animals and the park, and since his retirement, the deer have become his park buddies, and visiting with them is his hobby now.
"I always liked them. It's just something that came to me, and it keeps me busy. I can't play baseball no more or basketball, so I chase the deer."
Drabison says the white deer had a brother, but it was struck by a car and killed. He says that is his main worry for the park deer.
