One Of A Kind
July 9th, 2010
It's always exciting to see a new species. But even more exciting is to see a bird that's literally one of a kind--like this partial albino Red-Winged Blackbird!
He lives at Pea Island Wildlife Refuge, making his territory, along with other redwings, in the tangle of bushes on either side of the boardwalk. He's famous, in fact. There are photos of him in the visitor center. Leucistic birds usually look motley, but I find this one quite striking.
