Saw a partial albino Black-Capped Chickadee today! Hopefully it'll stick around for a while.

Isn't that too cool!

Somewhere around here, I have a video of a couple of pale pink cardinals that lived around here several years ago. You know that sort of thing happens, but it's a bit exiting to see it!

Interesting bird. I once saw an albino starling in a large flock. Two winters ago I saw an 'off colored' bluebird. The bluebird was buff colored with a salmon colored breast. It was perched on snow fence with a group of other bluebirds. When I first saw it, I thought that it was an escaped parakeet.

Thank you for the information!

I've always been confused with the terms.
