OK, so that gorgeous leuchistic Red-winged Blackbird is still at the NW corner of Cottonwood Marsh at Walden Ponds. I found it (with the added siting of Ted Floyd and Lonnie Frye (?) standing way off in the distance in the background). What is remarkable, is that it's starting to molt and it's bill has turned from coal black to yellowish. How does a leuchistic bird molt.....once leuchistic, always leuchistic?
