Greetings...
An unusual robin stopped briefly at our birdbath this afternoon, a break from
the normal ones who line up for a bath. I hesitate to name its condition so as
not to reinstitute a discussion of the proper terminology for a
pigment-deprived creature. It didn't stay long enough for a photo. Its breast
was snow white except for the normal dark streaking below the chin and a smear
of chestnut lower down. Its wings were blotchy gray and white, perhaps with
more white than gray. The other robins were quick to chase it away.
