I have an evening grosbeak at my office feeder sporting an unusual plumage on its head, a salt-and-pepper mix of gray and white. I have never seen this before. Any and all input is appreciated. I skimmed through the BNA entry but it had only a couple lines on aberrant plumage, and I am a bit distracted today as it is. If it is some form of leucism (or whatever the more accurate technical term may be) I am starting to get paranoid, because this would make the third bird I have seen in four months that has had aberrant white plumage, and the second at my feeder this week (a junco). Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk296/Paoniabirds/P1110128lc.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk296/Paoniabirds/P1110114lc.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk296/Paoniabirds/P1110112lc.jpg
