That is too cool! You are right, if I saw that in my backyard I would have no idea as to what kind of bird it might be.

I wouldn't know this bird as a robin, either. Was its chest orange at all? If so, maybe that would be a clue.

Our robins have disappeared the last few weeks. Once their families were raised, they took to the trees. Shortly, however, they'll be everywhere on the ground, again, getting fat to fly south, I guess.

How nice that she found a mate...I'd read that often albinos are shunned, even attacked by others in the group, even as nestlings. Were her offspring normal in coloration?

I've an old birdbook which compares silouettes of birds that is so helpful in recognizing the different sizes, shapes. To me a Robin is almost the easiest to recognize. Aside from Chickadees they seem the friendliest. josh

How cool.

suzy,
Have you noticed if it's offspring were of normal pigmentation?
