[Birdtalk] Partial Albino Winter Wren in Logan Canyon

[Ryan O'Donnell]

Thanks to yesterday's post from Craig Fosdick, I found a WINTER WREN
this morning at Guinavah-Malibu Campground in Logan Canyon.  This bird
was a partial albino (or leucistic, whatever you want to call it): it
had a clean white patch above the bill on the front of the crown, with
several pure white feathers into the hind crown.  Three photos are on my
blog: http://200birds.blogspot.com.
 
Good birding,
Ryan
