Leucistic Oak Titmouse

I learned the new term "leucistic" from Jasonp1's recent post (thanks):
This light colored oak titmouse has been hanging around our bird feeder for a few months now. I finally managed an OK shot with my 70-200 F4L IS. Camera is XSi.

Always surprises me how the are not picked off by predators.

It looks so strange, doesn't it? Nice catch though.

I see a trend. Maybe its a fashion trend in the bird world. Very nice shot!
glad to have helped by the way

very nice capture

lovely little bird

Nice shot

Pretty little bird, and a great shot, but he looks sad to me....do the other tit mice let him socialize with them??

I watched this bird (assuming it was the same bird) with a eye towards how the other titmouses treated it. I could notice no difference, it just seemed to be part of the group.

It has been hanging around our bird feeder for more than a month now. Seems to show up every few days.

pretty bird . great shot
