Is there a requirement for albino birds to have pink eyes?
Animals that are white are considered albino only if they have pink eyes, I
believe. The Seneca army depot white deer are not albinos because they have
brown eyes and they are considered to have just the recessive genes for color

A morning walk around Lindsay Parsons yielded many field sparrows, at least two
prairie warblers, seemingly ubiquitous singing from invisible towhees and
black-and-white warblers. An adult bald eagle sat on a branch over the northern
side of Coleman Lake, unfazed by my presence. Approaching the

My morning walk produced no new birds, but I did find an owl pellet, presumably
cast by one of the local Barred Owls (very talkative around my place lately).
Last night and the night before, several bats were flying around the yard. I
suppose these might be migrants, but I've seen evidence of ba

lulled to
