| I took a socially distanced walk yesterday. Saw lots of robins on lawns. This one is our standard robin model for today's blog. |
 |
| Good looking, right? Then the one below came along... |
 | |
| It has white feathers all over its head and a white patch on its back. Not your standard robin. It's leucistic; it has a genetic condition that causes pigment processing failure in some of its feathers. Note that it's not an albino, which would be colorless with pink eyes. Click to enlarge. |
 |
| It's a good look, right? I see a couple of pale splotches down near the tail. I hope this bird hangs around for the season. I'd like to see if it has spotted chicks. |
 |
| Interesting! |
