Hi everyone,



The latest unusually-plumaged bird to visit the yard was a leucistic Pine Siskin that showed up with the normal flock this morning to tank up on some water from our recirculating stream.? Much of the bird (particularly the head through the shoulders) is quite white, but the eyes are normal color?and there is the normal yellow wash on the wings and tail and some streaking on the flanks and other locations as in a normal bird.? It was quite an interesting bird to watch, although it was so active that getting decent pix was a little challenging in the low morning light.



The following link shows the body of the bird - http://www.tubbsphoto.com/-/tubbsphoto/detail.asp?photoID=9869256&cat=38994 ?- and clicking Next from that link shows a frontal view of the bird, with its almost completely white head.
