Yesterday I got a call on the BirdBox from Libby Bucholz, who has been
seeing a leucistic Black-capped Chickadee at her feeders. She lives
between Federal Way and Auburn in King County. These leucistic
chickadees have been showing up in the Seattle area in small numbers off
and on for several years, but this is the first time I have heard of one
so far south. I thought I would mention it in case anyone is keeping
track of these birds.

If anyone would like to try to see this bird or talk to Ms. Bucholz
about it, let me know and I will put you in touch with her.
