Following is a response I got from Indiana about my posting of the albinistic
RWBL. I thought the rest of Tweeters would be interested in the report.

Hi, Ric!

>This morning at 8:30 (March 22) I saw a male red-winged blackbird in
>Casnovia that I can best describe as a bilaterally symmetrical mosaic
>albino. It has a black body with a lot of white on the chest and back.
>The wings and tail have white feathers interspersed with the normal
>black feathers and are bilaterally symmetrical on both the wings and the
>tail. It has red and yellow epaulets like the normal pattern.

>The location is: 18 Mile Rd in north-western Kent Co., between the
>railroad tracks (that are just east of Casnovia) and Fruit Ridge Rd.
>The bird was on the south side of 18 Mile, singing and displaying in a
>small swale. I'm going to try to get a photo with our digital camera
>this afternoon.
