Hi Tweets-
I've been on and off Tweeters for roughly 10 years and it seems like more leucistic birds are being reported. Does anyone know if this phenom is actually increasing, or are we just seeing an increase in reporting?

If anyone knows of any good published research studies on leucisticism, please forward the reference.

Thanks-
