Cool thread. We have members from around the globe. It's a great way to see birds from other parts of the world.

I'll get my camera and see what I can find!

I live in the south, but the birds can't tell by the weather we're having. I think they've all flown FURTHER south for the winter. When I look outside right now, all I see is white on the ground and white falling from the sky. No birds. But, they'll be back soon enough.

preservation acres- weve got about 10 inches of snow on the ground and flurries. the birds flock right before a big snow storm. they did a few days ago before we got the 10 inches. would believe how many birds there were. ALOT BELIEVE ME!!!!!!

I've never seen one like that before!

You probably never will
It's a genetic mutation that causes a lack of pigment in some of the feathers
This one lived in my back yard for a couple of years and raised normal looking babies
