Hey, Ed and Michelle Talbott,
Looks like a partial melanistic Snow Bunting ! Hun ? Don't you think ?
Or maybe a dwarf Bald Eagle. Yea! A white-headed raptor.
Why do you guys always find the good stuff ? Even Richard
Kretz is coming up with the white thingies.
That is a very neat bird. Do you walk around town with your camera
hanging from you neck ? By the time I ran and got a camera, the bird
would be gone. Always is.
Merry Christmas to you and yours and all our birders......
Let's go birding on a CBC......

Subject: [Bristol-Birds] Partial Albino - White-throated Sparrow
Bristol Birders,
Michelle and I got a call from Shirley Justus (Michelle's Mom) yesterday
reporting a White-throated Sparrow with a white head visiting her feeders. We
made the trip over the mountain and the bird reappeared at the feeders after
about 15 minutes. It is apparently a partial albino and seemed to be doing
well. Here is a link to some pictures as well as a link to some video of the
bird I posted on YouTube.
