All,
I came across a strange bird yesterday. I believe it was a partial albino DARK-EYED JUNCO male. He was investigating the ivy on the brick bank across from Taxi's on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto. It appeared to have whitish cheeks, much like a Chickadee but the pale areas were more blotchy and irregular. Otherwise it was recognizeable but my look was brief and I didn't know what to make of it at first. The female was nearby and had nesting material in her beak.
