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. kd_reno wrote in post #17038602 Great job capturing a very unusual subject. Interesting that all of the Downy markings are there -just very faint. Peter2516 wrote in post #17038704 Wow very cool. Levina de Ruijter wrote in post #17038752 Extraordinary. What a catch, Ian. Great set! Pondrader wrote in post #17039285 Very interesting find Ian, ya just don't see that every day, awesome Thanks folks. Just hoping he does OK, he is a bit of a target being so bright, plus apparently an albino's eyesight is relatively poor also, which may make it tough for him to locate food. He definitely has an uphill battle ahead of him. IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :

I can't get over how many baby woodpeckers both Hairy and Downy there are this year. IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :

CamFan01 wrote in post #17040764 Absolutely fascinating find Ian! Gorgeous captures too with a special nod to the feeding image. I'd be most interested to see him/her after the first molt, but I'd suspect it'll be run off by the parents by then. Thanks very much Steve. Lots more feeding images on my Flickr page. I'm still watching to see how long he hangs around. 2slo wrote in post #17041340 Great capture there Ian, excellent shots of that rare bird. Pleased to see he's doing well. So far so good anyway, Mark. Many thanks. IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :
