Tominator Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I can't see pictures at work, but it sounds like you're describing lucism in a junco. http://www.wildlifeextra.com/do/ecco.py/view_item?listid=1&listcatid=1&listitemid=3910&live=0 I've seen a few in my days. A few robins and sparrows mostly. Saw a lucistic crow a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
