Roger,
Nice photos. A common species but rare bird. The yellow lores are the icing
on the cake.
Thanks,

Hi All,
Yesterday, Dec 17th, Ed and Michelle Talbott of the Buchanan County Bird Club were called by Michelle's mother, who said she had a strange looking bird at her feeder. Ed and Michelle went to investigate and found a beautiful leucistic or partial albino White-throated Sparrow.
Ed got video of the bird. My wife, Lynda, and I went back this morning and the bird returned to the feeder, where I took the following photos.
