Good capture Bernard, I bet he takes a bit of stick from other birds because of his plumage

Re: Leucistic blackbird
Thank you for posting this. I wish we could see its legs, but just based on the eyes I agree that it is a leucistic bird. It would be interesting to see if it has a mate. The cranes I posted were a mated pair. I bet it varies between species. I wonder it any other members of CIC have examples of leucistic animals.

Re: Leucistic blackbird
Good one, Benjy...just gotta get out of your comfort zone there despite the bad weather...does leucistic mean "albino"?
