Standing Out In a Crowd

Last week, when the freezing rain was coming down in sheets, the goldfinches were all over the place. I noticed one that really stood out in the crowd. It is a "leucistic" American Goldfinch, meaning it is partially albino. It was white, with a bright yellow head, and faint black stripes on its wings. It was really cool...first albino bird I've seen. It stuck around all day, but I guess it flew the coop the next day, because I have't seen it since. Darn it..was hoping it'd stick around all Winter.




Pretty, isn't it?
