Hello Birders..
A fellow birder, Jimmy Fitzgerald.. emailed to tell me he had seen a Leucistic Robin near his mother's house in Highland Springs. I finally got a few pics of it today. Really hard to miss this bird hopping around on the lawn.
It can be found at the corner of Naglee Street and Nine Mile Rd. in Highland Springs. It is a VERY busy intersection and no place to park for more than a minute or two. There is a nest and I observed it bringing a grub into the leaves where the nest is located.

Also, when I was at Cumberland Marsh the other day, an obliging Indigo Bunting posed nicely for me..

Someone accused me of Photoshopping a Cardinal..turning it blue. I assure you, I'm innocent:)
Also some Herons (GBH & Green)
