Hello Tony.


A really beautiful bird.



I vote for: Partial albinistic Pine Siskin. I believe I see some pure white feather groups, even though that could be an artifact of exposure, which would mean leucistic Pine Siskin.


Second choice: Rare cross of Pine Siskin X Pygmy Snowy owl.

Any insight on this one is appreciated, when I first glimpsed this bird yesterday I thought it might be a snow bunting. Now that I've gotten a much better view and pictures; I'm doubting that. The bird has been at my feeders two days in a row now.
