Hi CoBird Enthusiasts, There is a peculiar House Finch that has been frequenting our feeding station this winter. After consulting with Donald Beltz, I've learned that the condition is called Leucistic or Leucism. This is having partial white pigmentation without being completely albino. I'm really excited to share these pictures with anyone who is interested at http://picasaweb.google.com/andy.spellman.sr/LeucisticHouseFinch#. This particular individual is a male House Finch with much white coloration on his head and upper body. The typical House Finch would be deep red to purplish where this on has white. I hope you enjoy these photos.
