We spotted this strangely coloured bird on a CVCC Field Trip to the Cowichan River
and it sparked quite a discussion amongst those in the group. Thanks to my many
friends and contacts for helping to identify this bird. There seems to be some
discrepancy concerning an exact name, one being a Piedbald Robin, another a Partial
Albino Robin and another an Albino Robin (see recent info below). It seems these
strangely coloured birds have been seen all over North America and on other continents
as well. You can see more images of these unusually coloured birds at Google
Images and search for Albino Robin.
Derrick is correct-it is Leucistic
