Bristol Sullivan Co., TN Today (6/9) I saw what appeared to be a young albino European Starling. The bird was a little more cream colored than a pure, bright white. It was following an adult starling and food begging. The normal looking adult starling was feeding it. The albino had dark eyes and a more normal leg color to that of the adult starling. The near white color was uniform over almost all feathering. I have seen many albinos during many years. This is my first albino starling. Mostly they have been robins and blackbirds. The birds were feeding at the carwash at the interesection of Weaver Pike and Industrial Park Drive. Let's go birding.....
