Let's see now. There's been a leucistic Red-winged Blackbird, a Junco - White-throat hybrid, a strange Junco, a Junco with an all white tail that I was shown a picture of today, a Field Sparrow with an all white tail that I saw recently (of which I couldn't get a picture worth showing). How about a leucistic Brown-headed Cowbird? These songbird flights and fallouts have been great, but it does get old looking at the same looking things over and over again. So if you want a look at the funny cowbird (yesterday at Fort Tilden), it's at http://www.stevewalternature.com/ . It sure don't look shiny or bronzed, but it'll have to pass for an interesting cowbird until one of those shows up.
