There was also an albino on Lopez Island (Washington State) whose skin and
feathers not only will be put on display but evidently had progeny. Check
w/ Bud Anderson for the whole story. I used to see it a lot when I took
off to the south from the Lopez Airport. It caught goldfish roaming little
boys had planted in some of the south end stock ponds, thereby helping the
Island's many Mystics entertain (and thus REtain) their gullible but
wealthy clientele with occasional sightings of a heavenly white bird
flying a golden fish off into the setting sun.
