[Birdtalk] Albino Starling

[Ryan O'Donnell]

I saw a pure albino European Starling yesterday, June 4th, at the
intersection of 300E and 900N in Logan, Cache Co.  The digiscoped photo
(link below) is a bit out of focus, but I thought you might still
appreciate this beautiful, if invasive, bird.  This appears to be a
fledgling, as it was begging from an adult along with several other
juveniles.  All the others seemed to be normal color.
