I'm not positive on the Albino part, but from what I've read, the red eyes peg him as Albino rather than Leucistic. He was all over my yard and feeders to day with Dad showing him around and feeding him. I wish him well, he'll likely have a tough life.

It's a first for me too, Bret. I hope he hangs around and manages to avoid my resident Sharp-Shinned Hawk. Being white, he's pretty easy to spot.

Thanks Linh, he was a pleasant surprise on a rainy day.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Wow Ian what an unusual colored bird. I sure hopes he is not limited by his color. At least he can always find a good meal at your feeders. I am sure his coloring will make him quite visible to predators. At least he will blend in well in winter.

Great job capturing a very unusual subject. Interesting that all of the Downy markings are there -just very faint.
