canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Apr 25, 2007 11:58 | #1 This guy showed up in my yard yesterday and again today. I guess he has a little patch of Leucism on his head. Maybe the ladies don't like it, otherwise why would he be in my yard?

Apr 25, 2007 20:19 | #7 Thanks guys. What I'm liking about this yard photography is that every few days, a different and new, to my yard, bird will show up. Amazing how the word get's around. Being surrounded by deep woods on one side and an old abandoned farm and then more woods on the other, I guess I'm going to get every bird in the woods sooner or later. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Apr 25, 2007 20:29 | #10 Thanks Trevor and Reyno. I guess this guy came up from the creek which runs through an old farm to the south of me. There is a spot about 5 acres large that the creek winds through like a snake. Too hilly to farm. This is like a miniature wetlands area, sort of, with only a few trees. The redwings like it down there. I guess this one followed the trail of old seeds dropped by the other birds, back to my yard. I was practicing with the flash on him. He didn't seem to mind.

Apr 25, 2007 21:37 | #14 Thanks George. From my distance, it didn't look all that big. Thought he had a feather out of place or something. I didn't really know what it was till I saw it on the monitor. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
