kenny14 656 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Nice pics More pied (or partial albino) Blackbirds seem to occur than other species. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think they call them variegated blackbirds do they not? I've seen a few about with differing levels of variegation so they can't be that rare. There was one with a single white cheek that used to visit the garden in my old place regular over a period of several years. Nice pictures btw! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

remi700 99 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yeah I have a coal tit at the feeder every day with an all white head and I've been watching a Canada goose for the past 6 or 7 years with a white head and neck. Had him in the decoys one mornin in September a couple a years ago and I wouldn't shoot him cause I want to get him mounted and he wouldnt be half feathered. His days comin!!
