Hello tweeters.

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to see a partially albino crow. A few
months ago I saw a similar bird at the same location as this one (may
have been the same bird), but as time passed I began to have my doubts
and thought that perhaps it may simply have been the reflection of
light.
The extent of albinism seen was light grey to white underwing primaries
and secondaries. At the time it appeared that the feathers were whiter
toward the base. However when perched, I could see the tips of the last
secondaries as two white spots on the lower back.
